“Hello, Butts County. I’m just calling to let you know I am a happily married woman. Every time I hear something in Jackson, I go home and take care of my home that much harder. If you leave my business alone and mind yours, maybe you will have a better life. If I can’t lift you up, I refuse to bring you down.”



“Hello, Butts. What do you got to do to get on a men’s softball team? I’ve call up there three or four times and had my name on a list, and each time I call there’s only three or four people who want to play. I was just looking forward to playing this year. But I guess not this year. Guess I’m going to have to go to McDonough. But, love the paper and everything. And was wanting to know if there’s a private school in Jackson.”



“Hello, Butts County. Let ya’ll know we got a thief on Stark Road again. He’s gonna probably get caught whoever he is one of these days. I know they enjoy the chainsaw they took from honest, hard working people. But keep up the good work, crooks. One of these days, one of these honest, hard working people are gonna come home early.”



“Wow. HMS girls’ soccer team: they really did a good job.”



“Hello, Butts County. Last time I checked, Florida was a part of the United States. Wasn’t it?”



“Mow your yard.”



“Look like an angel, walk like an angel, talk like an angel, but I found out – you’re the devil in disguise.”



“It is my understanding that there are over 400,000 illegal immigrants in our U.S. Our government doesn’t do much about it because there are just too many for them to round up and prosecute. So why don’t 400,000 Americans all go out and break the same law – something such as burglary – then the government couldn’t do anything about it ‘cause there would be just too many to round up and prosecute. Wake up, Congress. Breaking the law is breaking the law, no matter how many do it.”



“My, my, my. If signs on the road distract you so much, maybe you should not be driving. Think about it.”



“Just in case you didn’t know: no good can come to those who cause others to suffer for their mistakes. Good luck to ya.”



“Hello. I’m 68 years old and I know my memory’s getting bad, but I can’t figure out what happened to supper time. Does anybody out there know what happened to it? It’s gone, and it was my favorite meal, and I miss it.”



“Hello. This is for the person who needed to get rid of two blue and white checkered sofas on late Friday night. I just wanted to let you know that Butts County has facilities that you can take to that won’t charge anything. Maybe next time you could think about dropping them off there instead of getting up late Friday night and dropping them halfway down somebody’s driveway. That’s not a very nice thing to do. How would you like it waking up Saturday morning and going down your driveway to find two blue and white checkered sofas and all the pieces lying all over the place? In fact, does anyone know of anyone who may have gotten rid of two blue and white sofas?”



“Hello. This is the Shadow. I just want to say thank God that Cynthia McKinney is not my representative.”



“I just want to say that I lost my wallet – I probably dropped it on the ground – at Joyce’s Beauty and Tanning. Somebody found it and picked it up. And I have worked very hard being a single mom, put myself through nursing school. And it hurts me that somebody would keep my wallet. You have cost me so much money and grief, and I can’t believe somebody didn’t turn my wallet in. I’m very upset.”
