I saw a ad on the internet for a Apprentice hat maker. I see now the hatter may have found his apprentice...

To funny I had to share this...:) :) :)


Sir,

My name is Cleetus Pennybacker and I wish to prentice with you. I cannot tell a lie and tell you that I have made me a hat but what I can tell you is that I have made me a cap. I have prenticed befur with Elmur T. Hudgins of Winslow County, TN and have made me cap from a coon skin complete with tale. Now Elmur is well knowne round these parts and he has done made him a hat from the fur of a beast known as Bigfoot. Up'n them parts round Alaska I think they call him the Sasquatchy. Now that hat is fine and the fur is fine. I recon' I would call it a zillion x hat, if'n I had to ascribe a lable. Should last 5000 years, at least'n. Now we done sold that hat for $850 to a millionare in New York City. He wares that hat to his job on some street with the name of "Wall" every dangone day.

I done blocked that hat on a Feedora block, fitted it with a ribbon and all the fixn's. These feedoras, the rich folk pay lots for em.

I belive I can fix hats for you, Charlie. all I recuire is a place to rest my head when I am done, some vittles and some money for acutrements. I would appreciate a return emale as I think we wuld be good fur one nother.
