If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

I was just going through YouTube the other day looking for his story about when his cousin, or someone replaced the communion grape juice a the Baptist church with green persimmon wine.
Jerry Clower said they all whistled the clip closing hymn.

I never did find that story but had lots of laughs looking for it. He was a very funny guy!

Having been a Jerry Clower fan as long as I remember, I cut an old article about Jerry out of my Sports Illustrated copy years ago. That article is now archived on line, and is still a great read, including the story of how Jerry came to play football for Mississippi State even though he had never before even seen a football game! ::tu:: http://www.si.com/vault/1973/04/30/6156 ... out-jayree

Sure miss seeing Jerry every year at the Tobacco Farmers Show in eastern NC (held years ago in Greenville and Goldsboro) - he was a funny, funny man. I feel like I would know Marcellus anywhere! OH

My favorite story was about the barefoot boy on a bicycle that could outrun a Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

Me and the boys love Jerry Clower, and Carl Hurly too. Carl is from KY and is a lot like Jerry.

For those of you who have Pandora there is a Jerry Clower station and a Carl Hurly station too. Great stuff on both.
