'The News from Lake Wobegon'

The Farmers sit in the Chatterbox and talk about the warm weather. Roger Hedlund started plowing too early and his tractor got stuck. Roger missed two free throws with one second left and lost the District championship in 1958. Roger was unaffected by it all. Last spring, Roger's dad finally turned the farm over to him. He started plowing too early and dug his Farman deep into the ground. It took three of his neighbors to pull him out. Farming is really a spectator sport. The salesmen are trying to sell Jerusalem artichokes. The neighbors stick it to Roger but they can't get a rise out of him. The story of the farmer who blew up his old dairy barn and used too much dynamite. To save a dental bill, Roger pulled out one of his teeth, only it was the wrong tooth. In LW, if there is one dumb thing that you did, they will save them up as treasure. The first time GK drove his dad's car, he smoked a cigarillo, got sick and ran the car ran off the road into the soy beans. It did no damage. InLW, confession is just corroboration.
