lovely ladies who can pull oil
looking like a model while milking,
they give me a glorious case ot
insecurity
Frankly, when 1 come in the
house from helping with the barn
work, I usually look like something
the cat dragged in and forgot to
take back out
It’s an effect resulting trom the
manure-caked tail that slapped me
across the ear, the milk that
slopped out over the edge ot the
bucket that was too full, the call
who thinks my jeans pocket
resembles mother s feeding
system and the pressure pump that
backfired in my face when I
dropped it on the nozzle
Because such personal ap
pearance is par tor the course
twice a day, morning and evening,

our large appliance repairman He
comes regularly enough to
minister my electrical machinery
that he’s almost part ot tne family
Only this tune he was searching
tor the home ot one ot our em
ployees, and had come tor
directions
Through sheer luck, 1 could
shove the door shut and nab the
jeans from off the nail where they
hung. In ten seconds, 1 was
presentable.
How many times a week does
this happen to you' ’ I asked in
embarrassment 1 mean, I’d heard
stones about how repairmen are
always walking in on strange and
unexpected situations
Well, to tell you the truth, it s
the first time it s ever happened to
me,” he confessed, also looking
just a trifle embarrassed
