135- This Side of Nowhere

You, finding life, rather dull, dreaming again of exotic places, wishing you were somewhere else. We offer you escape. Escape with us now to the barren wastes of northern Mexico and the story of a fortune in cash to be had for the asking.

As Anthony Ellis tells it, in his exciting story, this side of nowhere. You want to know where you can pick up a quarter of a million dollars? Well, I know a place. The money's in hundred dollar bills.

The last time I saw it, it was all in one place, and the people who had it were the friendliest people in the world. That is, if you don't mind the particular kind of friendship.

There hadn't been much business in Missouri, Too much competition and the yokels were spoiled taking rides and the new stuff flying around. My old stentson didn't look like much and I couldn't risk doing tricks in it.

With me when the customer paid three bucks for a ride, that's what I got. A ride. So there wasn't much business in Missouri. I've been lucky here in Kansas, though. In a couple of towns where a plane is still a fancy contraption.

As I headed west, I was a couple of bucks ahead. About 50 miles east of Wichita I put down in a grass field outside willing And I figured a day or so here we get me enough to buy a new tire Is this your field?

That was pretty coming down out of the sky like that. I seen you from a long way. You like planes, huh? Sure. Is this your field? Yep Down's first bulgan stream. Well look. I'd like to make a deal with you and so I'll be here for a couple of days Let me keep the plane here and I'll give you five bucks.
