I use the expression because I was outside town on a county road (which was probably a Colonial wagon road which was probably an aboriginal path) and it's got to be quite a cut between the cornfields on both sides and of course I did the creeping towards where I could see both ways which to me is the spirit and intent if not the letter of the law but Johnny Law was out at 7AM looking righteously for Public Enemy No.1. Followed me into town after giving me the bill for his services. I parked and went into Smyrny Sporting Goods and he came in and says: "Har,har,har, I thought yud comun inhear to buy er gun to shut me with, har, har, har." So I says: "Hardy-har-har, gudun Occifer, last thing on m' mind Im shur.." Law-abiding takes effort; so does abiding the Law. Found the nice SW after he left. Only thing I ever bought there.
