he had to make a living I did I stole

everything you had ice cleaned this

closet out so not it was terrible what

the Chevrolet dealership Kathy was with

me he and my brother won’t want to buy a

truck now this is 19 I think 81 or 82 so

I’m in there and I’m I’m looking around

I said I said well I’ll pick what truck

you want he said well I like that one on

the on the showroom floor I said okay

let me look at the sticker price on cuz

I used to sell cars when I was about 18

years old I was pretty good salesman you

know just trying to pick up a few

dollars here in there so I look at it

like that he says uh I said now this is

one you want yeah

so I said salesman said well let’s just

go in my office and make us a deal so I

went with him so you made the deal I

said that’s no good and I’m standing up

I said that’s no good I looked at me

like that and guy look at me said sir

anything there don’t insult my

intelligence that’s no good

dime mean put one nipple in that car

that they trade in it now let’s do some

day let me tell you what we want here

boom boom boom ice and I know you got to

make a living but you don’t have to make

a kill it

well I could see it made that more mad I

could see him squirming this is the

salesman so he said I got to go talk to

my supervisor my boss to see if he’ll

take this deal you know how to go out

and talk I’ll say listen he said listen

just say do whatever we get this thing

down he I don’t care how much it cost me

I just want to know how much the note is

see that’s America America I don’t care

how much anything costs how much is the

note

well we’ll finance it to you for 937

million years at $10 a month we’ll take

it

now you may pick 2 for the rest of your

life and your grandchildren but you’re

not interested in that you just want to

so billions of dollars on interest so he

down

I thought what’s the matter guy thinks

I’m an idiot I know how to buy an

automobile who’s this idiot anyway

probably just went to work it probably

just he probably takes a draw instead of

making any money on yeah that’s all

going through my mind I didn’t like his

attitude

cuz I’m trying to help my sister my

brother-in-law back off so he kept going

back and forth I said I tell you well

why don’t we stop all this and get your

boss to come and then we can settle this

thing up pretty quick he said what are

it Tabasco sauce come up my legs

what I’m gonna say the violet taken

before that’s what i’ma say you got

scriptures coming up in your mind it was

a shame that God had the holler at me

even have to raise his voice I was wrong

the man said and I licked him I said

listen he said listen listen you can

have the truck you can have the truck if

my brother said measure my brother he’s

the atoms that mess up the whole world I

said sir I apologize I am a preacher he

said okay okay I said no listen listen

I’m sorry he said no no we’d give you a

coffee we’ll give you the truffle with

that’s fine that’s fine I mean my but my

brother says anybody gonna call no cops

anybody called cops in here you better

call some ambulances because if we go on

to jail we’re gone with your skin under

our nails now I am not lying I was so

embarrassed say what David said the Lord

smote me I’m not proud of this but the

reason I’m telling you that cuz probably

some of you have done this why did God

have to howl at me I had been in the

Holies of Holies

I went beyond John’s immersion why do

you have to howl at me

what a foolish stupid thing to do and

I’m a minister the gospel so offered to

buy the man dinner he didn’t want to eat

with me

I said look uh I hear hissing my take

listen I am sorry I I am a minister the

gospel I should learn I could

I forgive me I thank God I wasn’t on

television at that time but I was I was

so so wrong and I said Lord forgive me

suggest I love you I forgive you but

I’ve been telling you to handle this

temper for a long time I said God take

this from it yes I didn’t give it to you

what am I gonna do with your temper I’d

have to go to hell because that’s the

only place it fits

well what I’m gonna do with this you

have got to crucify this thing so I said
