Incident In An Iowa Cornfield

Before it is posted on Facebook and everyone knows I peed in an Iowa cornfield at the beginning of some rows. It was an absolute necessity under direst of circumstance My brother took the picture showing my unique little dance. And, no, I don’t make a habit of that sort of unseemly activity But when “you gotta go, you gotta go,” a traveling man’s proclivity. So, when you see my backside with front facing those rows of corn Be very thankful I was clothed, not posed like the day I was born! And since the photograph does not show my face full frontal I can always deny the whole incident with a thorough disgruntle. written August 23, 2021

I know lots of women who could do that with style . . . ., but perhaps the women you know only do snow angels?

Oh my, Rico. I don't know any women who could do that with decorum.

Yes, they were quite upset. BUT, I was a bit afraid they might make a dive for my junk! Thanks for your funny comment, John.

Me, too, Tom. Believe me. The photo my brother (my traveling companion) took was enough!
