From the late Great Blackie Sherrod: A young Aggie had just landed his first job after graduation, but it was in Los Angeles, he had never been out of Brazos County before. The day before he was going to get on the bus his mom had a lady friend over and she was telling the friend about the big news. The lady friend says, “I got a boy that works out there, could you call him in here I got a favor to ask.” He comes in and the lady sez, “If you see my boy out there you tell him to call home.” The Aggie sez, “Shore, what’s his name?” The lady sez, “Dunn, John Dunn.” Off he goes…
He gets all the way out there to LA and the bus drops him off right in downtown L A, cars and people going every which way… He just so happens to look up and there’s a tall building with a big sign on top, “Dun and Bradstreet.”
So he crosses the street and heads inside, there’s a young receptionist gal behind a big counter. The Aggie walks up and asks, “You gotta a John here?” See says, “Well of course, the second door on the right, just down that hallway.” He says, "Appreciate it.”
He goes walking in about the time a guy is coming out of one of the stalls, the Aggie asks the guy, “Are you Dunn?” The guy looks at him sorta puzzled and says, “Well, yah I guess I am.” The Aggie says, “Call your Mama.”
