THE ET CETERA CHRONICILES - WHO'S FOOLING WHO ?

WHO'S FOOLING WHO ? James Charles, of Laurens County,  was afraid of burglars and robbers.  As he was old, Charles couldn't grab a gun and fire at thieves like he used to.  So, Charles rigged a shotgun to his door, hoping that any uninvited intruder would receive a rude welcome.  I know you are ahead of me.  Yes, Charles forgot and walked right in his front door.  The buckshot hurt his pride more than his hide. Middlesboro Kentucky Daily News, August 4, 1942.
