THE PIT-BULLS

I was working for a company in middle Georgia. They were a different kind of rental company, they were “TRUE” Rent-to-Own. this company took a more aggressive approach, often resulting in long hours. We would work until 2am some nights. This is a tale of a very redneck customer. I know what you are saying, I call all southern people rednecks. “NO”, this customer was a true redneck, and he was PROUD of it! At least that’s what the bumper sticker on his mobile home said. We had been trying to collect from this customer for quite awhile and when we knocked on his door he would just turn up his country music and tune us out. My co-worker and I went up to his mobile home one day and he had put 2 pit-bull on chains, hooked to 2 different trees. The chain went far enough to just reach to the front of his trailer door. Because of this stunt he pulled, we were unable to get within 10 feet to his door. This went on for about a week. Finally I decided that we had to do something. I noticed that his wife’s car was in the yard and I knew from past experiences that I could handle her. But first, I had to get to the door. I came up with a plan. Unfortunately, my coworker was afraid of dogs, even though he was 6 feet tall and 300 pounds, and the only reason I took him with me. I got out of the truck and the dogs came after me. I started with the dog on the left. As all damn dogs will do, he chased me. I ran around the tree and after about ten times around, he ran out of chain. Lucky for me that dog was too stupid to run the other way to undo himself. I did the same thing with the dog on the right, and it worked the same. SUCCESS!!!! Now the dog obstacle was covered, I went to the door. The wife came to the door, she looked surprised to see me. She saw her dogs all wound around the tree and I was able to get my big screen TV back, AS I KNEW I WOULD!
