This is some sort of a spoof. There isn't one reference to an out house.

That is one of the humor topics that best reside in the self-deprecating column. I didn't offer this also because there was a reference. Something about breeding a country singer. But I will say not a word about mullets and that's unforgivable. And I will offer a visual for your consideration of WV life.

Puff, sorry man but you got this one started.

My fondest memory of West Virginia is the Mcdonalds in Charleston. The play area had 2000+ cigarette butts and the air was full of coal dust from the rail yard 50 feet away. Once you got away from people the state was beautiful!
