I had one of the strangest conversations out on the rec yard today. It just caught me all sideways.An offender pointed out past the fence and towards the horizon and said:
"What is them hills over there?"
I'll have to admit to one and all that I stood there with my brain flapping open. I could not for the life of me understand what his question meant. I asked him to repeat himself and it came out exactly the same way:
"What is them hills over there?"
To which I nimbly replied "Just hills, that's all." thinking that would be the end of it and I could nurse my wounded brain. But the bastard persisted.
"What is they called?"
Who the hell do I look like, Amerigo Vespucci?
I said "We call them 'Them hills over there' " and walked away as fast as I could.
I hate it when they do that to me. BG and I discussed the matter and suggested we call them the "Lesser Tetons" for lack of a better name. We are nowhere near the Tetons but we figured it might stop them from asking stupid questions. I imagine that they are actually part of the tail end of the Ozark range but couldn't say that with any authority.
Hell, they might be the Lesser Tetons for all I know.
What the snap is a Teton anyway?
I'm a little tired, if you can't tell.
