Town Talk gems of the week

HERE WE GO AGAIN. Heaven forbid your dog barks at all for crabby old neighbors like ours who call the St. George Police. Yes, that's right. I've had the police dispatched to my house a dozen times all because of an old man next door who wants to go to bed at 7 p.m. on Saturday. See you in court with your psycho friends. They do say birds of a feather flock together. You know they do make medicines that can help you.

TO THE COUPLE in Affton with the pickup and blue van, please clean the junk off your front porch. If you want to live like Jed Clampett, move to the Ozarks.

THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S been bothering me for some time about Town Talk. People are always calling in saying old people looking out their windows, they're nosy. You know, we're not nosy. We're lonely. Looking out the window, seeing any kind of activity is better than seeing these four walls all day. We're not looking for burglars or anything; we're just looking out the window. We can't be on the go all the time. It costs a lot of money anywhere you go. Some of us, our health isn't that good. We can't be out. So just because we're old and looking out the window, we're not spying on you.

I HAVE AN idea how to save the Journal money and save some paper. Quit giving the lazy bums out here five or six papers in their driveway. Quit giving the lazy bums new ones. My next door neighbor's got so many laying in his driveway, he uses them for a speed bump.

IF SO MANY people are putting hundreds and thousands of lights outside for Christmas and then complaining when they get their electric bill, what in the world is wrong with them? Why not be energy efficient and not do all that crap?

ISN'T IT AMAZING that after 2,000 years we still celebrate the birthday of the Infant Jesus? How wonderful is that!
