Answer: Sunday afternoons

"'I am telling the truth,' I shouted. 'I am telling you. I didn't do it. That's the truth.'
Rev. Clampett looked at Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack shrugged. 'He'll have to work it off,' he said. 'He'll come up on Sunday afternoons until it's worked off.'
Rev. Clampett nodded. 'I'm sorry, Nick. It would be a lot better for everybody if you told us what this was all about.'"

Answer: A skillet

"I went out the kitchen door into the barnyard. The chickens hadn't been housed up yet and were still clucking around the barnyard waiting for a fox to get them. 'Where's Gypsy, you fools?' She must have heard me, for she came out of the shadows of the barn. In the twilight I couldn't see her too well, but I could see well enough to know she was crying. Her hands were balled up by her sides, and one of her cheeks was red and swelled up. 'Someday I'm going to kill him, I swear I will.'
'What'd he hit you with?'
'The skillet,' she said. She gasped out a big sob. 'I'll kill him, I swear it. He was raging around the house because there wasn't no supper for him. We already ate. How was we supposed to know he was coming home? He ain't been home for three days. He shouted at Ma to fry him up some ham and potatoes. She told him we didn't have no ham. He snatched down the skillet and took a swing at her, but being drunk he missed and fell down. She ran off to Old Man Sneakers's to borrow a piece of ham. Falling down like that made him madder than ever. He shouted at me to fry some potatoes. I said I couldn't, being as he had the skillet. He shouted, I'll learn you to answer back, and before I could duck, he whanged me with the skillet.' She snapped her fists by her sides again. 'I'm going to kill him someday.'"

Answer: Left

This would cause Jared's shirt to button up on the right side because that is the way his reflection would look in a mirror. Most shake with their right arm, so in the mirror your reflection would shake with its left arm.

Answer: Fatso

"The other me began to dance. 'I'll tell you what's finished,' he said. 'I'm finished coming around here like you owned the place, trying to get Jack to marry you.'
Miss Bell gasped, and Uncle Jack's mouth dropped open. 'Nick, I don't believe what I heard,' he said.
Miss Bell cried, 'Believe it, Jack. I told you all along the boy's to the bad.'
I swung open the door. Already Miss Bell had turned away and was pushing past the other me out of the kitchen toward the front door. Then she was gone. The other me went on dancing. 'Out you go, fatso,' he shouted."

Answer: Died Among Strangers

Here are some amusing epitaphs:

-I told you I was sick!

-Here lies the body
of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas
Instead of the brake.

-Here lays Butch,
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger,
But slow on the draw.

-Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana
It wasn't the fruit that laid her low
But the skin of the thing that made her go.

-Here lies Lester Moore.
Four slugs
From a forty-four.
No Les
No More.

-Bill Blake
Was hanged by mistake.

-Here lies Robert Trollope
Who made yon stones roll up.
When death took his soul up
His body filled this hole up.
