Now, I mentioned that Jehu worked some for Dr. (Doc) Akers...

Doc used to go out on house calls, and his custom, as all people then had fireplaces, was to go in, throw his hat on the bed, and spit in the fireplace....

Once he was called to a home where a lady was to have a baby...he arrived a little late, and her time was getting short, so Doc got so "rattled" that he threw his hat in the fireplace and spit on the bed...
