"I didn’t know where Georgia was at that time!"

Story

"Well, I was in Chicago and I was what they call chick sexing, determine the sex of a baby chicken...As soon as they're hatched, we would look at their back-end and tell between a rooster and a hen...

I was going to Iowa, Nebraska, and all of the cold country, and when I found out there was a job in Georgia, I didn’t know where Georgia was at that time! Warmer country, anyway. I decided to come out here and man, we used to work then; forty-eight hours sometimes."
