People who are raised in barns

There are people among us who were raised in barns. They look normal, but do not let that fool you. They were raised in barns.

How do I know this? I loaned a book to a barn dweller. She returned it to me today with the front cover folded and creased and the back cover has a coffee cup stain. After I swooned with dismay, I promised my little book that I would never loan it to anyone again. I will take it home and as lovingly as possible try to correct the indignaties inflicted upon it.

I should have known. She is a Longhorn and had the complete and unmitigated gall to give me a Longhorn air freshner for my car.

It is keeping my garbage pail Longhorn fresh.

awwwwww. I hardly ever lend books anymore...cause, as you said, you can never tell who might be a barn dweller.

What fragrance(odor) comes from "Longhorn Fresh"? I shudder to think.
