Oh, and this is better.
Bobby Chevalier said, “(Tom Hughes) Did you tell them about the rain making machine?”
I said, “Rain making machine?”, and he said “Yes, one night, about 10 or 11 at night, the phone rang and it was Howard Lang. And Howard said, Tom, there’s a rain maker in the county now, and we need people to have one of these machines, ah, in every township. Would you buy one?”
Tom said, “Yeah, how much?”
(Howard) said, “$2,000 apiece.”
Tom said, “OK. I’ll buy one.”
And Howard said, “Don’t tell (anyone) who told you this.” He didn’t want anyone to know he was involved.
Anyway, so this guy came with this rain making machine. It was a metal box – a cube – about that size, and it had a cord sticking out of it. He plugged that in, and ah … but if you took the cover off and you looked in there, there were just two electrodes, about that far apart. And when you plugged, it in there would be a little spark there.
So, ah, anyway, he plugged it in and left there. And pretty soon he said n old Norweigen drove up in a beat up pickup truck, dog in the back, and he said, “Come to see the rain making machine.” And Tom said, “It’s just around the corner, just outside the garage over there on that side. And, as they were walking over there, the dog went over there and lifted his leg on this box. And the farmer said, “That’s what I think of it, too!” Got back in his truck and drove away.
Oh, man!
(Joe) But wasn’t the end of the story that you had a huge rainfall, and there was flooding?
Yes, and they sued the rain maker!
(Kim) No way.
Yes … I don’t know who sued him, but there was a lawsuit. Yeah, there was some rain damage …
Oh, God!
