Awww, Our Annual Sweetcorn Festival


It Seems As Though When I Pay A Hefty Price For My Enjoyment It No Longer Becomes Fun Anymore. Example; The Last Time I Went Fishing I got A 75.00 Ticket For Not Having A Fishing License. I Have Never Went Fishing Again. It's Not That I Don't Like Fishing Because I Do. To Be Quite Honest About It I Really Don't Have The Time. It Was A Spur Of The Moment Kind Of Thing Anyway That My Daughter Asked If I Wanted To Go Fishing. Since There Was Only A Couple Hours Left Of Day Light What Harm Could Come From It? Pfffft!!
That Brings Me To The Hoopston Sweetcorn Festival Held Annually On The Labor Day Weekend. It Has Been Atleast Five Years Since I Last Attended This Event.
One Of The Crowd Attractions Is Free Hot Buttered Sweetcorn. Everything Else At This Festival Is Quite Expensive. Don't Arrive Hungry Unless You Are Prepared To Pay Dearly From Your Wallet. I Remember I Was A Little Hungry That Day So Since The Sweetcorn Was Free I Could Always Get My Fill With That.
I Think I Ended Up Eating Anywhere From 6-8 Ears Of Corn That Day. After Walking Around Viewing The Different Vendors We Decided To Head Back Home And Call It A Day.
Shortly After Arriving Home I Began Having Stomach Pains. As The Evening Went On The Pain Got Worse. I Told Billie Jo I Could Not Go On Much Longer With This Pain. I Knew I Could Never Get A Wink Of Sleep Unless I Could Rid Myself Of This Unbearable Pain. Going To The Hospital Was Not An Option Unless It Was My Last Resort.
After Being Bent Over With My Head Between My Legs I Knew I Could No Longer Live With This Another Minute.
I Shot Out The Door And Jumped In My Pickup Truck And Headed To The Nearest Gas Station.
I Purchased A 2 Liter Bottle Of 7Up And Quickly Exited The Business.
I Quickly Opened Up The Bottle And Began Belching And Farting. Belched Some More And Farted Even More. Did I Feel Better? You Bet I Did! After I Arrived Home I Was Able To Spend Some Quality Time In The Bathroom Where My Final Relief Was Accomplished.
Haven't Been Back Since And Don't Plan Anytime Soon.
In The Meantime I Learned A Valuable Lesson That Day. Always Eat Your Corn In Moderation. Over Indulging Can Be Very Dangerous To Your Health!
Just Call Me Mac
