Lots of Oilfield Pumpers augmented their wages by making and selling "drip" gasoline, and kids were always stealing it. Cops couldn't be called because it was illegal to sell or use in cars or pickups.

Ol' Bill Jackson over at Squaw Mountain in Jack County knew that whoever was stealing his drip wasn't a kid, so he laced a barrel of it with Treatolite, a chemical used to treat crude oil to lower the B.S. level in the tank.

Next morning the offender's car was parked about 200 yards, pointed away from Bill's drip stash.


Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
