This Yard Sign Takes The Cake

Two things come to mind.
When someone like the witness showed up, or some salesman caught him in the garage or on the phone, and they wanted to know if they could talk to him., dad would reply, " yep go ahead. I get $1 a minute for listening. I'll say start you stop when you can't afford it anymore." They either turned around and left or hung up. his standard reply to someone asking directions was, "you can't get there from here."
On another note, John ran Triple Nickel, (Mopar salvage) outside Chambersburg. He had a helper who lived at the yard. John told of the night the helper caught two guys in there after hearing a noise. Course they didn't see him till he had a .45 stuck in one's nose. The helper had a REAL dark tan and unless he smiled in the dark, he was invisible. He asked them what they were doing, their reply was they were just looking for things they wanted to come back and buy tomorrow. They were arrested for trespassing.
