Slap her down again, Pa (make her tell us where she's been, Pa) -- Ruby (Red) Tuesday -- Cars

The Ruby (Red) old cars pictures were taken at our October Early Ford V-8 Club picnic. Cars in order (down): 1957 Chevy Belair 2-door Nomad; 1934 Ford Three-window coupe (we ran one of these as a modified stock car in the 50's); 1965 Mustang; and 1935 or 36 Ford Coupe with rumble seat (closed).

Now for this important message:

911 operator just got this message earlier:

"Help, help. Please help me!"

911 operator: How may I help you

Caller: This lady knocked her husband out cold with an eight iron and he crashed the Navigator. He's laying on the grass out cold!

911 operator: Can you wake him up?

Caller: I don't think so, he's laying on my grass.

911 operator: This sounds like a domestic quarrel, we'll call domestic relations.

New call a few days later:

911 operator just got this yesterday: "Help, help. Please help me!"

911 operator: What seems to be the problem?

Caller: My wife is laying on the floor, I just knocked her cold.

911 operator: Why did you do that?

Caller: She was terribly drunk and came after me with a knife. I had to defend myself.

911 operator: Don't move an inch, you might hurt her worse. I'll send someone. Stay on the line.

Caller: Help, help. Please help me!

911 operator: What seems to the problem?

Caller: They've tassered me, the police tassered me, and now I'm cuffed!

911 operator: It serves you right. I can't help you any for that. I think you deserved it. I sent them.

Caller: Please, quick, I need a lawyer, my lawyer.

911 operator: Oops, they just told me that this is your one phone call. Tell the judge in the morning about things. He might let you get your lawyer.

What's wrong with these two scenes? Can you reconcile them?

Note: I have changed some of the facts and parties to protect the innocent.

I remember this old hit song on the whole family helping to raise the younger daughters. The above family violence situations reminded me of the song, popular in my younger days. This did not occur in MY family.

The song: Slap Her Down Again, Pa Lyrics at allthelyrics.com

.

Come here gol-darned you

Take that and that and that

.

That's right

.

(Chorus):

Slap her down again, pa

Slap her down again

Make her tell us more, pa

Tell us where she's been

We don't want our neighbors

Talkin' 'bout our kin

Slap her down again, pa

Slap her down again

.

Well pa and ma were so darn sore

They woke me up one night

There was an awful cussin'

And ma said pa was right

They was awaitin' sister Bess

Who never kept her word

The sun came up as Bess came in

And this is what I heard

.

(Chorus)

.

Now poor old Bess got so darn mad

She ran away one day

To meet that travellin' salesman

With city-skickin' ways

We ran and stood beside them though

With shotguns by our sides

Me and Deke and pa and ma

Who yelled as they came by

.

Why don't you

.

(Chorus)

.

Now ma and pa, they planned for Bess

To marry Deacon Brown

And not that travellin' salesman

Who always came around

They made poor Bessie go to church

Her face was mighty red

The deacon took one look at her

And this is what he said

.

Oh

.

(Chorus)

.

.

Doesido

.

Oh yes, hot stuff

.

Well the moral of this story girls

Is don't stay out too late

Unless you take your shoes off

Outside your pappy's gate

If ma don't hear you comin' in

She won't lay down the law

And you won't have to worry

'Cause you won't see much of pa

.

(Chorus)

.

Take that and that and that
