Quest West - A Ride Across America

This actually happened in Kentucky, which you could probably figure out by the time you're finished reading anyway.

We made one of our regular stops for a snack at a gas station, and got talking to some locals. There were 2 women working at the store, and 2 male customers (about 45, 50, 55, and 60 years old, respectively). We bought a candy bar and a drink, got taxed on it, and chatted while snacking. Then we bought crackers, and didn't get taxed. At this point we'd become somewhat comfortable with the crowd, so inquired about the discrepency. One of the ladies started her answer about necessity vs. luxury items when the 55 yr old man interrupted and said, "it's 'cause they like ya. That's how we decide here." Then the 60 yr old, "Actually, we don't tax ya if you're from the South - we're getting ya back finally!" Everyone laughs (although we think that might be our exit cue), and the 60 yr old gets very chatty. He tells us how they used to brew alcohol in the shop, sell water as moonshine, and even about his father who trained a mule to lie downwhen he was drunk. The ambiguous pronoun left us wondering whether it was the mule or his father who was drunk - although we had a guess. He's rolling now and starts taling about a friend of his who had an encounter with someone biking through town:

Biker: You know the name of the bridge that goes over the Ohio River?
Friend: No
Biker: You know the road that leads to it?
Friend: No
Biker: You don't know much, huh?
Friend: I know I ain't lost! (keeps on widdling)

We definitely saw all four of his teeth and half of his bologna sandwich while he roared laughing.
