Elvis Spotted in Gordo

Word has it that Elvis was spotted again in Gordo Alabama. Gordo is a raging metropolis just across the state line. The traffic light works except for the yellow that has a bulb out. Local people are keen on the fact that when no light is on, it means yellow and don't get pulled over. Poor travelers have a difficult time. The mayer says it's just not safe to fix the light at this time. It would be too dangerous to put up a sixteen foot step ladder in the middle of U.S. 82.

Dora Lee Biggs told my wife about the sighting. It seems that he was spotted on a bench outside the Gordo Grind, that's a foo foo coffee bar in a portable shed next to the quick stop. They have learned to combine Maxwell House and Folgers coffee with a just a shredding of sweet potato delicately floating on the surface. People in west Alabama are nuts over it. They're comming from Mississippi now. The line was backed up the other day all the way to Gene's saw shop and hog feed.

Anyway Dora said that Elvis was wearing overalls. It seems that his belly hasn't shrunk so he was wearing them with the buttons loosened on both sides to let some air circulate. What caught her attention was his workshirt with the collar turned up. Then he whipped out a little sack of groceries and made up a peanut butter and nanner sandwich right there. Well, that really got her interested cause she knows his favorite food. She said there was no doubt when he reached in and pulled out his upper denture to lick off the peanut butter stuck on them because she saw his big ring that he always wore on his right hand. Before she called my wife she rushed over to the pawn shop to see if that big ring under the glass was the one off his other hand but she said it turned out to be one of those Cupid Zarcondoms.

Dora said, " it was like one on them aberations cause he wudden there the first time she walked over to the liquor store."

Elvis has left the building. I wonder if he is in the "high Country" now? Probally not, it is too cold right now. Tell Dora Lee to keep up the good work though, you never know where Elvis might show up. Maybe I should go over to our local ABC store and to some snooping around.

Are you sure it wasn't Uncle Nile?
