This has to be my favorite story of the past week. It’s a story of Rednecks, a $10 bill, and my beer of choice as an underage high school lad looking to drop panties on the weekend.

Grady “Skip” Wilburn Dollar, 64, was accused of stabbing Mickey Joe Hill, 37, during a dispute early Thursday, said Sgt. Mark Richard of the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department.

Richard said the two men had been drinking together when Dollar gave Hill $10 and told him to go to the store for more. Richard said Hill brought back only four cans of Natural Light, a low-cost brand, and Dollar got mad that he didn’t get more for his money.

“He said, ‘For $10 you could have gotten a half case,’” said Richard. “Four cans of Natural Light only cost $3 or $4.”

I must be out of touch with reality, because last I checked a twelver of Natty Light was taking $8 a night out of my pizza fund, so Hill either drank some of the beers, pocketed the change, or bought a pack of Old Golds.

Naturally, Dollar did what any of us would have done. He went into the kitchen, grabbed a butcher knife, and stabbed Hill. Luckily for Hill (Lieutenant Nordberg?), the knife missed every major organ and he’s expected to recover and go back to a life of cheap beer drinking.
