THE GREAT BINGE
THERE WAS A NOTORIOUS DRUNKARD WHO COULD GO ON THE
LONGEST DRINKING BINGES OF ANY DRINKER IN THE
NORTHERN HILLS OF ARKANSAS. ONE TIME, HE WAS ON A
THREE DAY BINGE. ON THE THIRD DAY, HE WAS WALKING
HOME, AND PASSED OUT AND ROLLED IN THE DITCH ON THE
SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE NEXT MORNING, A GRADER
CAME BY AND FOUND HIM LYING IN THE DITCH. THE MEN THOUGHT
HE WAS DEAD, SO THEY THREW HIM OVER THE TOP OF THE
GRADER AND PROCEEDED TO GRADE THE ROAD. THEY GRADED
THE ROAD TO THE NEXT TOWN ABOUT THREE MILES FROM WHERE THEY
FOUND THE DRUNK. AS THEY STOPPED THE DRUNK WOKE UP AND
WALKED AWAY NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED OR WHERE HE
WAS OR HOW HE GOT THERE.
