Jerry Clower told the story of an Appalachian pastor who drove far too fast for his age and environment. His friends were very concerned for his safety. One day Billy Bob was driving around a particular mountain curve and saw Pastor Corncob in front of him. And as usual, he was taking the mountain curves "ninety to nothing." And then, Billy Bob was shocked to see the pastor run off a cliff! The old pickup truck rolled down the side of the mountain, and came to a rest a couple hundred feet down the ravine. Billy Bob was horrified, and pulled over and began to run down the mountain side. Now, the pastor's old pickup truck caught fire! Billy Bob was relieved to see Pastor Corncob climb out the window, a few cuts and bruises, but otherwise in good condition. Now, Billy Bob shouted, "Preacher, Preacher, are you okay? The good parson nodded, and in his most impressive speaking voice said, "Why, yes, thank you. The Lord's riding with me!" Billy Bob shook his head and responded, "Well, you better let Him ride with me before you kill Him!"
