I once took a job with this guy who sold used cars, I started out working on them but spent a lot of my time going with the tow truck driver to pick up the junkers. One night we had to go to East St.Louis to fetch an LTD that the guy stopped payment on. It wasn't at his house but we found that he hid it behind a building. As we were hooking it up, a cop drove by slow and stared at us, the guy I was with then told me to do the driving. I asked him why and he said he didn't have a valid license and...

When I was 18 some friends talked me into going on a camp out with them to some wilderness about 80 miles away.

We would often walk to this outdoor shopping mall 8 miles away which was built in a circular formation and was one of the largest in the country. It had just about any kind of store you could think of located there. We seldom had any money with us but it didn't stop us from having fun. We would walk down the long road...

Well, I haven't done this in a while, so it's way past time for another Sunday Funny on Case's Column. This day's funny comes through the auspices of some TV gurus on YouTube who like to collect old television themes from different production companies.
