Hick Takes a Seat

Hick came home Wednesday afternoon proclaiming that he'd done a good deed. I didn't doubt him. Hick has a history of doing good deeds. He's a Do-Gooder. But this time, Hick hadn't consciously decided to perform a good deed. He was motivated by greed!

"I was comin' back from my store, and I saw three chairs along the highway. It was just off the entrance ramp. So I came back on to town and picked up Old Buddy. We went back to get them. It was three wooden chairs. 

When we got there, we seen that they was all skinned up and broken. We loaded them anyway. I brought them home, and when the rain clears up, I'll burn 'em on my burn pile. But that was a good deed. Because I picked up those chairs off the highway."

Yes. I would consider that a good deed, no matter what Hick's original motivation. He could have left the broken chairs there. He took his life (and Old Buddy's) in hand by stopping along a divided highway. Good-Deeders sometimes come to an unfortunate end when they stop to help a motorist.

Anyhoo... Hick has no FREE chairs to sell or use in a flip house. But he is proud that he cleaned up junk along the highway.
