# In 1957 I saw him turn the Secretary of Agriculture into the Secretary of the Interior.
It was hell on their wives, but it sure brought down corn prices. Built a house out of corn. It was the worst home I ever owed?
when it got really hot it smelled like Frito's.
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways.
One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville.
I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days.
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days,
nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
