Did They Say Rough Love?

Herkimer Higgins was real upset this morning down at the barbershop. He heard (or thought he heard) an announcement that one of the morning shows was going to talk about rough love. He said he felt if they had to have that subject matter on it should be late at night when the kids were all in bed. He said he didn't have nothing against rough love as long as there were two consenting adults and there weren't no bruises left. Milton Makeover told Herkimer that he thought the topic of the segment was tough love about disciplining your children. But Herkimer said he was sure they said rough love and he disconnected his satellite outside the house so nobody at home could watch such a thing while he was away.
