Pure Country Wisdom
Never name a pig you plan to eat.
Country fences oughta' be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong.

Don't skinny dip with snapping turtles.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.
Meanness don't happen overnight.
To know how country folks are doing, look at their barns, not their houses.
Never lay an angry hand on a kid or an animal. It just ain't helpful.
Teachers, Moms, and hoot owls sleep with one eye open.
Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.
Don't sell your mule to buy a plow.
Two can live as cheap as one...if one don't eat.
Don't corner something meaner than you.
