Watch Your Mouth

It's Harlow Booney again. He was down at the cafe this morning all upset about something he watched on the TV this morning. Now some of y'all ain't gonna like this but I figure if they said it on TV I ought to be able to get away with it here. Seems like this actor fellow blamed his throat cancer on oral sex.

Harlow contends that any thinking person would conclude that just talking dirty wasn't gonna result in tumors and sickness of that degree. He said as he understood it most of that kinda talking was done over the telephone and "amongst peoples thousands of miles apart." Then Harlow got this real quizzical look on his face and said, "Besides if it was true people could just quit when they got a sore throat or something, Couldn't they?".
