he'd come flying down the road

"He was probly getting up toward seventy when he bought him this used hearse and took to driving it up and down the highway all the time. Hooked up some kind a bullhorn or loudspeaker on top of it so he could say what was on his mind. And he had a whole brainful of other people's sins on his mind. I think having a head full of that kind a thing is what was driving him crazy. Ever once in awhile he'd come flying down the road with that loudspeaker going like God A'mighty: 'Thou shalt not commit adultery. You know who you are and He knows who you are'. He didn't ever call any names, just left it real general so the guilt could thin out a little and ooze into ever crack. He'd call out different sins too so everybody'd have something to listen for. When he came flying by the kids'd run th'ough the lawns and holler, 'Whoa Nellie!' "
