A hillbilly wants to become a journalist. So he moves to California and gets his journalism degree.
For his final project he is supposed to go to his hometown and write a story on “Happy Times.” He goes back to his hillbilly hometown and finds an old hillbilly sitting on his porch widdling wood. He explains his situation and the hillbilly agrees to the interview. The new journalist says “Tell me a story on happy times and the old man replies “One time my neighbor lost his sheep in the woods, so we gathered a search party and when we found it, we all took turns on it”. The journalist was like I can’t write that, “Tell me another happy story”. The old man replies again “One time my neighbor lost his daughter in the woods, so we gathered a search party and when we found her we all took turns on her”. The journalist thought this story was worse and decided to use some reverse psychology and says “Tell me a story on sad times”. The old man looks down real sad and says “I got lost once”.
