Bubba and Clem
go in a hole….and Bubba wonders why?
Clem
is still worried about his lifelong friend's breaked heart and is pondering on
how to get the ole boy back. He gotted down again 'bout that there yankee gal
since the fishen trip with them crippled chillens.
He
figgered that theys need sum excitement in theys life so ole Clem rang up his
friend, the Sorysota, FL, scuber man and axed him about cave divn. Ya see Clem
knowed that his friend had been diving in them holes since the 1960's and were
trained by the late great Sheck Exley.
The
Sorysota, FL, scuber man recommended one of hisen friends, a world class cave
instructer a named Harry up in North Florida where them divin holes be found
at.
Clem
tells Bubba what he done planed and old Bubba gets him a gleam about the eyes.
Bubba 'members that Tech Divn and all the junk they got to fetch along on the
dive. Heck he gonna get to have all kinda divn toys for this cave divn.
Bubba
been reeding them posts on AOL bout cave divn. Ifin sum of them clowns can a do
it, he should be able to.
Clem
a rangs up ole Harry and sets a date to start. First theys gotta do a Cavern
Class and they wanted the Sorysota, FL, scuber man to teach that, cept he
telled them that Harry be better for all theys classes.
Time
is about to be for thays trip to Florida. Bubba gotta have him sum travelin
vittles so its off to the Varsity. It only about a 5 hour trip so Bubba orders
only 34 chili dawgs pilled up with them stinky onions. While the boys be at the
North Avenue Mecca, they ate theys lunch too. Clem orders him 7 chili dawgs and
Bubba has 4 heavy dawgs and 4 reguler chili dawga, some fries and three large
PCs. Clem drank him a Varsity Orange.
Clem
a fears the vapors will come up on ole Bubba in the Truk heading down I75 to
Florida,
Theys
gonna take the Bubba and Clem Dive Emporium and Gas Station pickem up truk so
theys can a haul all the junk what theys need for that there cave divn stuff.
Bubba done looked in all the magazines, just like them computer divers, well
Bubba jus looks at the pictures cause he don't reed too good. He seen cave
divers wearing two big ole tanks, dry suits, knives, a bunch of lights and
other toys. Looks like theys going to Mars.
Well
Bubba figgers if theys got two tanks him and Clem will have three of them all
hooked together, he always wants to be the bestest. They done fixed up one of
them 23 meter long hose pipes to the regulater too. And theys got em two
regulaters. Bubba got him four computers and a half dozen knives. Clem went
down to Coweta County, GA, and had his uncle Cletus rig him up a spot light
what shines better than the one on a locomotive, Bubba bets it ain't water
proof. They both got em dry suits, theys hate cold.
Well
Harry takes one look at these rubes and falls down a laughing at theys stuff.
He gets em in the proper stuff fer divn in a cavern. Bubba is a still wondering
what the difference betwenst a cavern and a cave is.
Whilst
theys putting on theys costumes, theys a bunch of yappy womans getting into the
water. Bubba don't pay em no attention, Clem figgers one of em will scare the
fishes off.
Well
our heroes are now in the water and doing all kinda exercises what Harry has
them a doing. Bubba keeps wondering where the fishes and corals is at. He still
don't know wherther he is in a cavern or a cave, its cold and theys ain't
nuthin to see cept rocks. Bubba will take the warm ocean any day. Fresh water
is for showers and mixing with Kool Aid, nothing else.
Well
low and behold, our group is almost knocked down by them womens heading deep in
the bowels of the earth toward that dark hole, now Bubba 'members, that’s the
cave. After theys gone a ways Clem shines that locomotive light, and yep all
that tar Cletus put on it keeps it waterproof, down in that hole and sees one
of them womens a plumb stuck in a crack. Shes a thrashing like a chicken what
done had hisen neck rung. Theys a shower of lil rocks a falling off the roof of
the cave. She comes out of that crack a backwards and her and the other two a
head out to the daylight. Theys little hunks of rock stuck in her rubber hat.
Bubba
and Clem foller Harry out of the cold, clear water and set down upon a pick nick
bench. They take off all theys stuff and climb out of the dry costumes. Bubba
tears off a running to the closest tree.
Clem
axes Harry about that bunch of divers, includen that girl with the rocks
stuck in her rubber hat. He just shakes his head. That is all that needs to be
said.
Bubba
decides rigjht themn and there that he ain't gonna go in no hole in the ground,
he don't want no rocks stuck in his head, theys enough inside of it already.
