Caleb Hooten - champion teller of tall tales

On one of the Melody Ranch radio shows, one of the characters is Caleb Hooten. (He sounds like he might be played by Parker Fennelly, who was Titus Moody on the Fred Allen Show.) He told this story: "I was tied to a tree, and coming toward me was 65 couters, 38 mountain lions, and three wild boars carrying sub-machine guns. All I had on me was a slingshot and an old emery board."

He got cut off by the cast from what might have been a very interesting story. Too bad.
