Episode #2: Bubba and the Birks



Bubba�s first client of the day, a homeless woman with seven children under the age of 4, comes in to apply for Section 8 housing. Bubba looks at her disapprovingly and queries, �Where�s the father?� He learns that all nine fathers are in prison for attempting to steal Pampers and a crate of Mickey�s from Liquidation World by stuffing the goods down their sagged-out Dickies.

On the farm, the Birks find themselves up a tree. Due to a recent grant from the Fed, power lines are planned for installation through a corner of the property, running right through their copse of poplars. Residents are urged to clear obstructions or pay to have them removed. With chainsaw strapped on, Moonglow Birk shimmies up to the top of a tree and excitedly proclaims, �Hey, Philip, I can see Cuba from our tree!� before falling from his perch and breaking his elbow. Later, after returning from the ER, Philip and Moonglow experience another setback when the Leaf�s driveshaft was ripped out from under the "rig" during an ill-advised stump pull.
