The Lugubrious Life of Cletus the Coot:

When Cletus graduated from the highly lauded University of South Carolina business school, he was cognizant of the fact that he would need to work some Saturdays. He made peace with the fact that career came before all things, including Gamecock football.

However, he was disconcerted to say the least when his boss demanded he work this particular Saturday. You see, the gamecocks were playing Missouri, and desperately needed a victory. “We have to beat them. They don’t even have their starting quarterback,” he thought out loud.

“Drop 4 patties!” His boss proclaimed. Cletus responded in kind, all the while wondering the fate of his beloved gamecocks. He was so pensive about the outcome that he could barely complete menial tasks.

“The ticket said raw onions, not sautéed onions, Cletus.” His boss was becoming exasperated with Cletus’s performance. “Are you 5 guys material or not?” Cletus was rattled, but finished his shift.

As he parked his Huffy in the front lawn, he could only speculate on the score of the game. He rushed inside the house. “Get off the phone, ma! I gotta check the score!” His mother was none too pleased.

“I’m talkin’ to your pa! He called collect from the prison!” She hollered back. “Check the score on that phone of yours!”

Cletus became enraged. “You know you can’t get the internets on these Obama phones,” he shouted. All he could do was prepare to check the outcome once she was off the phone. Cletus had recently procured a CD-ROM containing the latest AOL software. He put the disk into the drive.

“I’m off the phone, Cletus.” “Thanks ma!”

Cletus fired up the software, and dialed in. As he heard the familiar dial tone, serenity washed over him like an awesome wave.

What Cletus wasn’t privy to yet, was the final score of the game. The gamecocks had once again been demolished by an undistinguished program. The coaching staff was sure to be dismantled.

“We lost again and I have to work a double tomorrow,” Cletus thought to himself. “I should have worked harder in high school.”

The understatement of the century, Cletus finally came to grips with the cold hard truth. All he could do now was hope that Clemson lost to Notre Dame.
