WD You Shouldn't Be Honest With People
Posted 10-10-2011 at 01:35 PM by WD Mino
John Skyhawk walks into a town, not knowing anyone. He stops in at the local watering hole to wet his parched lips, he is exhausted after walking through the hot arizona desert and blistering heat. He is tired and just wants to sit a spell and quench his thirst. He walks in to the sliverado the only bar in this one horse town, called sliverping, silverping who ever heard of silver ping, John thinks to himself. Just another dirty dingy measly little town, ya seen one.....
He plops himself up on the big heavy barstool, tossing his big burlap sack on the floor beside him. " Beer, and Whiskey" John says, The bartender who's name was Stone Mcgill slides the beer down the slickened bar top, slams a shot glass down right beside the beer, you know because Stone loved to show off, and flips the whiskey bottle around like a 6 shooter and pours the whiskey all in one smooth motion "Impressive" John says, Ain't nothing, replies stone.
"Where can a fellow get a bed in this town? John asks, I didn't see no hotel when I's walked into town. Molly ridgebottoms has a bedding house right across the street.
Thank you, replies John now making his way to pay for his drinks and head out to the bedding house, odd fellow " John thinks to himself as he walks into the front door of Molly Ridgebottoms bedding house. What he saw next astonished him....
There standing before him is miss Molly Ridgebottoms, only her name isn't Molly it is sheila sharps the fastest gun in arizona and the woman responsible for more than 500 deaths including his momma. "Draw you yellow bellied sap sucker" John says, I aim to avenge the death of my momma who you seen fit to kill in cold blood"
Molly reaches for her gun and before she hits the handle of the pistol John shoots her 3 times BANG BANG BANG echoes throughout the little ghost town, The sherrif came and all the townspeople to see who Molly had killed now, when they saw it was her laying in the street, the people rejoiced, screaming and shouting and shooting their guns off.
You people are strange "John says, why would anyone be happy another is dead. Well sir, replies tom barkleyhouse the town's mayor, This little lady has had us under a state of fear, every man that comes into this town ends up over at miss Molly's and I'll be danged if she doesn't end up robbin and sometimes even killin those men.
She runs a gang about 2 miles outside of town, who regulraly come in to town and cause problems for folks, just yesterday old mr micginty was out with his mngrel dog and for no reason seed fit they shot him right there in the street. No sir this town is not saddened by the death of miss Molly, however, you're under arresst for moida.
The sherrif takes the gun from John and places him in handcuffs, "folks, scuse me" John says, "oh great" he thinks.
John was placed into the jail's cell, a big room with a giant iron door with many bars. inside was a copy of the town paper, a measly one little piece of papaer, with the headline reading, "Mary joe's brownies were scrumptious" in big black letters.
Who cares" John thinks. John now must decide what to do with this problem, Should be tell the truth about this lady and what she did, or should he lie and try his best to get away from this stupid little town. Just as John is thinking, a man's voice says "Ecuse me son, are you hungry?" John quickly turns his head to the fellow who is dressed all in black and says "famished" I'll be right back with some food for you" replies the stranger, John sits on the little wooden cott and awaits the stranger to return.
Within a few minutes the stranger returns with a tray of food for John, here" he says mrs loson made this for you, that's my wife. Thank you John replies, been days since I ate,John takes the tray , and immediately begins ripping the bread apart and dipping it in the hot beef stew set before him.Just as he is about to put it in his mouth the stranger replies, Ain't ya gonna thank God for yer food?
John says "you thank him I will eat" With that John stuffs the bread in his mouth. My name's Mark Stormhouse , the stranger replies, I am lawyer in this here parts, seems to me you got yerself in a fair bit of trouble, care to tell me what happened?
John says " I walked into the beddin house, she was standing there with a gun, I said don't shoot, she turned it on me, I fired she died, that is all there is.."What am I doing"John thinks, John had just lied to the lawyer, he knew he had done wrong, but he was so scared to tell the truth. "Sounds like a simple case of self defense" Mark says. Well, I wouldn't worry about it, Judge thomsn will be here in the morning and we will get this mess sorted out.
What John didn't know was Molly had a daughter, a 7 yr old little girl named lacy, who had seen through the curtains John shoot her mother in cold blood...
Morning comes around, John has not slept all night, it is tearing at him that he has now lied to the only person who could help him, his lawyer. He tries to push it out of his mind, "pull yourself together man snap out of it" He thinks to himself.
A fw minutes go by and Mark arrives, Morning John... The misses sent you some breakfast, you can eat while we talk, it seems John there was a little girl in the beddin house, who says she saw you kill her momma unarmed she was at that... This is going to require some fancy footwork John, how could that child see that?
John's heart sank, he begins to think to himself why had he lied, why? The woman had killed his momma and 499 other townspeople. she deserved it. Why didn't I just tell the truth, Well" John replies I don't see how that there is possible, I never shot her unarmed that kid musta be lyin. No John. Mark replies "you are" The judge is here come on now eat up, we will be in court in a few moments....
The courtroom is filled with the townspeople about 55 all together, all intent on listenin to the events that led up to the death of Miss Molly. The proscutor speaks, your honor, this man shot and killed a terrible lady who kept this town under wraps for years, but he shot her unarmed. that there is not hErioic but that there is moida, and we want this man to hang for what he done.
Mark stands to address the judge " Your honor, John here did not shoot this woman in cold blood but, in self defense, and we intend to prove it, we hereby enter a plea of not guilty. John is sweating now, what has he done, if he is founf guilty he will die," WAIT!!! John screams out in the courtroom. I did it I did it I did it, I am scared but I did it, I murdered that woman shemurdered my mother and 499 people from my town, I had to kill her." John pleads, tears now flowing down his face. Your honor in light of these facts, I move for this man to be hanged immediately, Not so sir" replies the Judge, this here man is a desperate soul who done the world a justice by dealing with this vermin the way he did. I find the defendant acted within his rights, court is adjourned, and just like that what would have been a hanging turned into a drinking.
Moral of the story, no matter how tempting it may be to lie to anyone for personal gain or otherwise it will destroy you
I was told recently today as a matter of fact that I was too honest in my sales copy, people don't want to do work, put in effort or anything, position it as an easy solution.
The fact is folks, I care about people, I don't lie to them or feel the need to scam anyone, in the end I cannot take 1 thing with me so tell me honestly, what;'s the point? If people don't want to work, they won't but they also will never get anywhere, that is not something I want to encourage, nor is it something that is integral, frankly even going to the bathroom requires action so spare me the people don't wanna work spiel, if you don't want to work and put effort into yourself, no product on the planet will help you.
