Is this the same Billie Joe who jumped orf the bridge in the first verse? Are you suggesting that it wasn't much of a drop and that he survived? This changes everything.

I'll just stand at the back and play the chords.

Ahhh the mists clear at last!

From our American correspondent:

"you people are all crazy. where did you come up with this wacked out shit about abortions and forbidden trysts, and billy joe having to fuck some old dude and then killing his self from shame? Y'all got some fucked up ideas in that mush that passes for your brains. And the abortion theory is just fucking retarded. how would it be a mystery to the parents and the preacher?

If the girl and billy threw their baby off the bridge, then she would have had to be pregnant enough for people to notice. then, all of a sudden she comes to dinner with a flat belly and there is a report of her and billy throwing "something" off the bridge? jee what a mystery? I think the parents would immediately figure it out unless they are the biggest bunch of inbred mississippi dumbfucks, who cant even pour piss out of a shoe!! And who cares what that dumb bald bitch sinead o'connor put in her song. that lame bitch should've left the hair on her head and instead shaved all the hair off her stanky twat! "

I put it to you, Sir, that "She and Billy Joe were throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge" contains the necessary condition that the aforementioned Mr Joe must have been present at the moment of the trajectory.

Brother Taylor's evidence is inconclusive:

"...he saw a girl that looked a lot like you..."

Hardly cctv footage and a signed confession, is it?

True - but there is precedent for evidence that is at best circumstantial, if you consider the infamous Gatlin Boys case brought by Mr Kenny Rogers.

For real expertise in the evidentiary acceptability of hearsay (should there be an apostrophe in that?) one could do worse than bring in Mrs Johnson. Her handling of the Harper Valley PTA in its entirety was masterly.

So we are agreed then. Majority verdict in favour of Professor Plum on the bridge with the dubious character.

Isn't the Tallahatchie Bridge covered by CCTV ? Can't they just rewind the tapes ?
