I timed er just right tother day. Strolled on into the Mule Barn when I knew Doc and the guys would be there. Oh we unfiltered the world events for a while, then to take advantage of medical science when its sippin coffee, I rolls up my sleeve and shows Doc my elbow.
Then I said, Doc, what do you reckermend for a elbow with a carbolic uncle on it like this here?
And ol Doc, he looks right at me, takes a sip ojoe, and says, Youth in Asia.
Youth in Asia? Hey, you know me, Alphonse Wilson. You know I aint got a thing against them Chinese kids. I sure like to watch em in the Olympics. You see them Chinese girls divin? Boy howdy! And them Korean guys shooting their bows? Flamtastic!
And Im sure theyre all really nice folks n all, but what do the kids know about elbows?
So I went to the library and asked Mrs. Cutter if she had anythin on fixin elbows in China or Japan or Korea or Cambloodia, or any a them Asian countries. She looked at me kinda funny there for a minute, I guess she wasnt spectin me to be lookin up medicine thingies. But then she brought me back a book on Asian medicine and I checked er out.
Wellsir, you aint gonna believe this, but I even saw pitchers. You know what them guys do when they got a misery in a certain place? They stick pins in it!
See, told you you wouldnt believe me. But they do. They call it accurate puncture.
And if stickin a pin aint getting the job done, why they ups n puts a marshmeller on the top of the pin and sets fire to it!
Hey, if Im lyin may my dog get coated in WD40 and come down with the lubricrated scours!
Yessir.
Well, I thought this was about the dumbest thing I ever read, but I know ol Doc wouldnt steer me wrong so I did er.
It hurt a little, but it was about like gettin a blackleg shot at branding, cept on purpose a-course. But I sat there lookin at my elbow through all of Gunsmoke and that there carbolic uncle didnt go away.
So I got me a marshmeller yes, I did. Had some left over from Halloween, you know, last year. And I put one on that pin and ignitified it. Singed all the hair around my elbow, too.
Did it work? Well, no. Not really. Maybe you have to have a Asian elbow to get all the benerfits of it.
But that there marshmeller shore tasted good.
And you can tell em I said so.
A book of Windys best called Wit and Wisdom of Windy Wilson should be published before the years out. You know youll need one.
