The Chicago Bulls handled their business (barely) against the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night.

Although, “good country people,” are supposed to be those who do what is right over what is wrong, I, Manley Pointer, am no ordinary country person. I travel from town to town changing my name to convince people that I am one charming young man, only to con them out of what I want.

The people I do convince to buy from me are great people, just the belongings I want from them are…
