Logger Justice

.

There came to mind a true story about a young girl who used to work in a well-known restaurant up in the Oneida County area. This was back in the days when loggers lived in the woods all winter, used horses in their work, and had a code of honor rarely observed today. One day a young fellow, new to the crew, made a remark to the young lady in question. It must have been a pretty rude remark, although she didn't actually hear exactly what he said. However, one of the older gents waved a hand to bring the rest of the crew with him and ordered the offender outside. They hauled him out of sight of the public, stripped him to his birthday suit, pitched him into a snowbank and stood around watching him for a spell. When his ardor was plumb cooled they left. A while later the restaurant owner found a shivering hunk of blue goosebumps out behind the place, (still bereft of appropriate covering, which the loggers took along with them) and offered him a table cloth to hide his embarrassment while he went for some pants. Needless to say, he found alternative employment and didn't bother that waitress again.
