Show Description

Pantyhose shuts down Massey Ferguson Tractor factory Stamps - the size of the stamp is related to the self esteem and confidence quotia of the country of origin Reading the newspaper - the real stories are inside. Sports and insulting headlines. Shep relates a time he went to a Titans game where they won with a 107 yard touchdown and nothing was mentioned in the paper the next day. Want ads - Authentic dead copperhead in formaldehyde. Kids and snakes. The indelible pencil - Jack Morton had purple tongue through high school. There is a myth that Shep lives in NJ. "Shep does not, never has, and never will live in NJ" (See note) Letter from listener - I wrote you about marrying my sister and you never contacted her. Cuckoos - People in show business are indignent.
