Bio
...... .. .. .... Billy Dufois, thats pronowceded ''Doofus''. I wus born at Parksville Kentucky April 24th. 1922. We all moved out to Springfeeled Oklamhomo in 1928, Daddy said we wus looking fer a better life. Life in the dust bowel wusn't so bad as kids we found ways to entertain ourselves, i took up geetar at age 9 and by 13 i wus playing on the local radio station WFUP. I had a new sound i called Jeezus Billy on a count of daddy screaming ''Jeezus Billy whats that racket behind the outhouse'' which is where i used to practice,one mite say my carrear started in the crapper. I continuied to play semi professional untill 1941 when we had our day of inflamey and i found myself drafted. W.W.II, the big un... basic training wusn't so bad, i saw inside plumping fer the first time, i allways suspected people who shit inside thar houses but i got used to it. I wus shipped off to Yourip and fought in Africa , Sissilly and of coarse France and Germany. I got my first purple heart doring the Battle of the bulge. I became separated from my unit and no that dusn't meen my unit fell off but it wus some cold and i wus looking fer and found a nice warm farmhouse. It was occupied by 2 cooks from General Patons staff like me they wus lost. I doo recall thar names wer Privates Marvin Gay and Charlie Berry, thar wusn't much to do but eat and drink but theese boyz did have a couple of geetars so i made a bass out of a ole washtub and we played and played. One night after a bit to much to drink i fell on my washtub busting it and getting a huge splinter in my ass. It wus no big deal as we were rescued the next day but i did get a nasty infection from that splinter which required hospitlization. General Paton wus soo glad to get his cooks back he gave me the purple heart and a job as his driver. This wus great untill the day i forgot to put the parking brake on and ran over the general. Oh well..... After the war i returned home, i played in a few bands, most notably Bill Haleys hay ride. I moved on cus i felt uncomfortable with him looking at my ass and all..... He wusn't gonna amount to anything anyway. In 1950 another war brewed up in Korea, they said they needed experianced help so i figured i mite as well go having had Korea and a few other nasty things. No sense sending inexperianced young men into a roomful of experianced ladies....... ________________________________________________________________________ The war in Korea wusn't like WW II, it wus no fun at all. It wus in the total misery of a liitle known battle called the Sirloin tip i came to that conclusion. This time i wus hert bad, i wus sent home to recover with another one of them dang purple hearts, i would have pefurred a purple penis. While recovering i got news i would be going back. I had uther plans. Taking daddys suggestion i headed down to farmer Jim's to conjugate with the dirty whore down thar thus making myself unfit fer duty on acount uf the clap. However the ''dirty whore'' turned out to be farmer Jim in a rubber suit so i did the only thing left. I got stinking drunk. I woke up in a ditch to weird noises and bright lights, and a whole bunch of midgets in SS uniforms bitch slapping me. Thar it wus a big shiney Nazi flying saucer. It seems ole Adolf cut a deal with Trueman back in 1945. Technology for a one way ticket to Argentina. These little guys had got lost in time and space looking for a place called area 51, i did my best to help them find it but they dumped me at exit 51 on the Vancouver island highway on a count that i smelled sooo bad. It was 1995, At least i wouldn't have to go back to Korea. Exit 51 is the turn off to Coombs my new home. People come from all over the werld to see this here place called the goats on the roof, why just the other day i overheard two classy old broads from a place called Swallowcum saying ''we realy must do the goats on the roof'' to each thar own i prefer women..... .......... -
