| Boosting Watermelons written by Mike Key |
| I remember the time that several of us skipped church on Sunday night and drove up to Ellerbe to get some watermelons. I won't mention any other names but you know who you are! We found the field and had gotten several dozen nice melons when the irate owner let us have a couple from his shotgun! We all hauled butt and I ran through a tobacco field and got the resin all over my suit. The reason I and the others ran is that our ride left us there! We were 10 miles from home and nowhere to go. Eventually, while I was walking down the road, our ride reappeared and we all jumped in and went back to get the watermelons. We ended up eating them near Ellerbe Springs. Only today do I realize what a chance we took and the fact that we were dead wrong! I am sure that if we had asked the farmer that the two dozen melons would have been ours! |
