Tom Slick in the Thunderbolt Greaseslapper

Ghandi said it so well: "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ. Had this on a bumper sticker that was pretty much holding the sliding back window glass together on the family Thunderbolt Greaseslapper. My partner and I emerged from the grocery store one fine day to discover a little old "christian" woman attempting to scrape it off. Upon seeing us she froze in a panic stricken way. (Bear in mind that I'm a tattooed, throwback '70s era 1% Biker member of one of the "notorious big four"with hair to my ass and a long hillbilly beard). Her husband, sitting in the nearby parked car, seemed to try to slide even lower in his seat. Now, I am Southern, which means I don't hit women or kick dogs for ANY reason, so there was no danger despite her red hands and guilt stricken demeanor (guilt not for the deed mind you, but for having been caught). As we continued to stare at each other, she being caught like a rabbit going Tharn in the headlights, I asked my beloved to take the picture (the woman was still leaning into what was once the pick-up's bed in better days and still had the ice scraper she had chosen to carry out her deed in hand) with her new Star Trek flip folding "phone". She did so as Ma & PA Kettle continued remaining in their near catatonic frozen states, their mouths gaping (maybe they were praying to Jeebus, who knows?). I finally broke the spell of this Dogpatch version of a Mexican Standoff by telling her, " Don't worry lady; I can't think of anything that would have better illustrated my point than your actions". Don't think they actually comprehended my words but my voice broke the spell. She hustled over to the car he had just started and they were gone like a choirboy's innocence. My darling and I had the picture made and framed. We still get a chuckle out of it all these years later...
