HA HA! I remember that! And I forgot about the dramatic readings, I remember the Pour Some Sugar On Me reading that I think ending the readings once and for all.

Walter Jackson, Willie Nelson, and I put rocks in Gamber's hubcaps one night. Jerry thought he was having major engine problems--took it to a mechanic, who charged him $500 for repairs (to take the rocks out of his hubcaps). Tom Riley just about fired the three of us when he found out what really happened.
