Chip at the Round Table

I knew this fellow named Chip in his late twenties who used to hang out the Round Table café in Commerce TX in the summer of 1971. One day his car was broken and he was desperately wanting to get to Dallas – about 50 miles SW.
He enquired of anyone he saw if they were goin' to Dallas.
Sometime later a group of very religious types wearing robes and the whole nine yards came in.
Chip didn't bother with them since they did not even look like good prospects for a ride across town.
One of them came up to Chip and asked “Don’t you want to know Jesus?”
Chip instantly replied, “Not unless he’s goin’ to Dallas.”

    We may have to start a book of Chip-isms. At the beginning of a class period in 10th grade Algebra my Chip, instead of passing his homework assignment forward as instructed, was working furiously. The teacher, a much disciplined individual walked over and said “Chip, did you fail to begin work on your assignment soon enough”? Chip replied without hesitation “No ma’am, I failed to complete the assignment soon enough”.
