MOORMANISM #32, 11-9-72, From McLeansboro Times Leader; McLeansboro,Illinois #Moormanisms

On my dad’s side the Moormans in name are all gone except me. And with me, that’s the same as all gone.
..........
I was asked if I caught any water for my ponds. I thought the ponds were doing well 
enough without me, therefore I didn’t help.
..........
We must be living in precarious times. Several have told me lately to “Be careful”. 
..........
A man told a woman he would get the door for her. That one stops me. 
..........
I made some home brew and a man told me to feed it to my rats. I do not want to be in a house with drunken rats.
..........
A bartender told a customer, “We only have two deadheads in here,” and the place was 
crowded. Actually, he didn’t even know me. 
..........
The real cause of such things as murder or other hideous acts may never be known by anyone. How many times have we stated that this caused this and think we are correct.
..........
Gray foxes are older than red foxes because they are gray foxes.

The one about murder is classic Hank. He is taking a stab at those experts who think they know all the whys and wherefores. I think that if he were living today, he would be shaking his head. Every time you turn the TV on there is someone analyzing every act of violence or every political strategy. There are so many different slants on every issue, and each expert thinks he or she is right.
I also wonder what he would think about all the so-called scientific studies about exercise and everything we eat. It seems that every food that has been proven beneficial is also found to be bad for us. Hank would probably say that life is terminal and why worry and spend money for all these fancy studies. Things happen; living and dying go on.
