The first one took place back in the seventies. I know because it involved our town marshall, Bledsoe Blevins, and he died back in 1979. Well, Bledsoe was walking around about midnight one night, checking doors and found that Jimbo had forgot to lock his front door. He called him and told him to get down with his key. But Jimbo said it wadn't necessary; he was there all day and nobody came by, so he didn't think anybody would show up at midnight.
Another time Jimbo was telling about how somebody came in and bought a broom. He forgot to charge it and couldn't remember who bought it. So he just charged everybody he could think of for a broom. I think it was $2.99. I asked him didn't people complain. Well he said Ethylene Walker raised a little hell so he bought her a coke and she cooled down. And he said the rest of the fools paid for the broom. Just like they really bought it, don't you know.
