Real Montana People

So today I had to stand in line at the county building to renew my vehicle registration. I, of course, procrastinated until the last day of the month, ensuring my at least half hour wait with the other procrastinators.

Some amazing things I overheard:

Older farm woman: "I can't have tomcats around the farm, so I have to butcher them."

Woman in Garfield Sweatshirt: "I just butchered 35 chickens yesterday. And I thought that I was retired."

Old Woman to Middle Aged Woman and Son: "Did you hear that gas prices are going up because of the stuff going on in Louisiana? Apparantly that's where like our only oil refineries are. Can you believe that?"

Middle Aged Woman: "How is that possible? Don't think prices can go up much more."
Son: "Damn hippies. We just need to start drilling everywhere."

A group of ladies in their 60s and 70s lamenting on kids these days:
"We never swore in my house. And guys didn't swear in front of women. Now the girls are just as bad if not worse than the boys."

"You know when all the problems started....that casual Fridays thing. You know, where you can wear jeans to work on Fridays? Pretty soon everyone started looking sloppier and sloppier. Now we're lucky if they wear slacks on any day of the week. Or any clothes at all. It's shameful."

Those were just a few of the gems I heard today. It was really hard for me not to laugh. I love people. They crack me up.

Yeah - those god damned f-ing girls with all of their sh!t language. Bad a$$es!

My mom used to say that I had a mouth so bad I was a cross between a sailor and a truck driver. My dad used to tell me that with a mouth like mine, I would never find a husband. Ha ha ha!

Beware - the end of the world is near, hippie girls that cuss and wear jeans to work, driving fuel efficient cars. End of god damned decent society if you ask me.
