Independence

I asked one of my favorite ladies in the office if she's going to watch fireworks on the 4th.

She answered, "I think we'll just sit on the porch. A couple of years ago we went out on the 4th and the neighbors 'bout burned down our house. We came home and there were all these pieces of bottle rockets and whatnot on the roof. The ones around the circle get some that we can see way up in the air... don't know where they get them from, but we don't have to fight crowds to see a firework show. We can see it from our porch."

Ah, the South.
