- - - I did not ask for one, I don't even want one, but it is a package deal with my kidney Doctor.
So I had to see her today and she wanted to know if I had any "issues" and I replied that everything is just fine considering my age.
She noticed my very long hair and ZZ top beard and asked why I wore it that way ( looking for an issue I guess
)- - - and I had to pause and think - - -I adopted my best West Virginia hillbilly drawl and dead pan serious demeanor and explained it thus.
"Well 'Mam, you know that I am getting on in age, and my health is not all that great."
"And both you and I know that I am not too many years from making that long last trip to them "Pearly Gates."
" Now I have tried to live my life by the good book in my older years, but in my youth I was pretty wild."
"So when I meet St Peter, it is not at all certain that he is going to let me in ".
She asked dead serious " how does all of that determine how you wear your hair and beard? "
I said without breaking a smile " Well I am hoping that with the hair and the beard they will mistake me for Jesus and just wave me through them gates - - - -
She did not know whether to laugh or cry
