Bill Bryson Quote

Good lord, look at you! he cried, delighted at my grubbiness. What have you been doing? You're filthy! He looked me up and down admiringly, then said in a more solemn tone: You haven't been screwing hogs again, have you, Bryson?Ha ha ha.They're not clean animals, you know, no matter how attractive they may look after a month on the trail. And don't forget we're not in Tennessee anymore. It's probably not even legal here - at least not without a note from the vet. He patted the chair beside him, beaming all over, happy with his quips. Come and sit down and tell me all about it. So what was her name - Bossy? He leaned closely and confidentially. Did she squeal a lot?
