Billie Sue and Henry Jack at The POW

We got this drive in and eat-in-your car place out by the highway what are named The Pow. Some fellow named Powell started it up a bunch of years ago. He's long since dead but the new peoples what bought it kept the name mainly because the sign were already up and a new one would cost a lot of money. Why I'm  telling about all this is 'cause Henry Jack Hurryman were telling 'bout how him and his wannabe girl friend went out there last night. You'll see why I say wannabe in a minute. Well, Henry Jack went to bragging 'bout how he had planned a cracker jack good evening trying to woo Billie Sue. First he bought her some toilet water what come from Z and B Dollar Store. He said it were named Lydia E Pinckham or something I ain't never heard of. Then he taken her out to eat at The Pow what are his favorite restaurant. He said he told her, "Girl, look up there at that board and I'm gonna buy you what ever your heart desires. Up to a total of five dollars." Now here's what I know: Billie Sue are what might be called a large girl and there ain't no way five dollars at The Pow are enough for even a partial filling. According to Henry Jack, Billie Sue come up with what she called a splitting headache and had to be took direct home. He said he's been calling all day and her mamma says she can't come to the phone or have any company. Henry Jack says he just can't figure it all out seeing as how she must have enjoyed her meal 'cause she ate ever bite of it.
