Hello my name is Joshua Jester which is the pizza hut driver that was delivering pizza that evening. I just want to clear up the whole story because HAMBONE lied in his story. I was delivering pizza that evening around 6:30 pm and it was my first day on the job. I went up to Mr. Hambones residence and knocked and he came to the door without opening asking "who is it?" I said Jester pizza hut delivery. Mr. Hambone then said " I didn't order no damn pizza!!!!" "a matter of fact wait a second." He sounded like he was upset so I proceeded to go back to my vehicle because obviously I was at the wrong residents. As I got in my vehicle and started to back out, I seen Mr. Hambone come from around the back of the house with a gun and fired two shots the first time. While I was actually pulling off away from his residence Mr. Hambone fired three more shots. There is a big window beside the door where Mr. Hambone could have looked out to really see if it was any home invaders. Yes I am about 6'3 but that still doesn't give anybody a reason to shoot at me. I've only been in barnesville for about a year and a half and that's because I attend Gordon College. I am from Hartwell Ga. It was NOT three black guys in the car it was just me! He said three black guys to definitley try and cover himself up. I had on a pizza hut shirt and pizza in my hand when I was knocking at the door. I went up to Mr. Hambones job which is the pond shop by Hardees and identified myself to him so he can know that I wasn't a home invader and clear things up and him/ two other employees laughed at me. I am a three year military guy who is trying to make a living like everyone else. Last but not least, bullets have no name to them. Those five shots that he said he shot at the ground to scare me off could have easily traveled and hit a young child or better yet ANYONE! I hope an incident like this one doesn't happen again.
I have worked in several management positions in my life and would like to offer you a few suggestions from and old, but wise Bitch.
If you are paying three boys to deliver pizza in one old car: MAY I PLEASE COME IN AND DO A COST REDUCTION PROJECT FOR YOU AT ONLY 20% OF MY TOTAL SAVINGS FOR YOUR FINE COMPANY.
This tip is free: Do not ask people if Pepsi is OK if you are not prepared to give them coke instead. That is just wrong, Dude.
Driving around an area you are unfamiliar with, dead cellphone in your vehicle, is not smart.
Pizza Hut will help the lost driver find his destination if only he calls in to the store.
And those drivers are on a time deadline to get that hot pie delivered.
That driver had a tough first day on the job, didn't he?
The eyesore is not the pawnshop, but the thugs that hang outside and walk the streets. There are too many inconsistencies to the driver's story from waiting three days to being lost to not having a working cellphone. Just doesn't add up! When I got home, I made my husband get my gun out of the gunsafe. Sooner or later someone you know will be in a similar situation, and then we will see how quickly change your tune.
I see it everyday riding down these streets ; the car in front of you stops for a brief moment to pickup one or more pedestrians whom were loafing in the lane of travel .
In other words: They just saved $3,000,000. Please correct me if I am wrong here. It seems to me that:
Pizza Hut would NEVER allow a car to be driven by any employee without a Pizza Hut supplied GPS device.
Pizza Hut would NEVER allow a car to be driven by any employee without a sign.
Ride alongs would be prohibited by company policy.
If two people ride along anyway, Pizza Hut should have previously informed the official employee that they will be terminated if caught partaking in this violation of company policy.
Next subject.
If Pizza Hut management is even thinking about suggesting that Hambone told a lie. DON'T EVEN TRY IT. His honesty is supported by many years and more people know him than they do the Pope.
(In fact, Hambone was introduced to the Pope on his last visit to the United States. When he came on stage, everyone asked, "Who is that up there with Hambone?")
In today's erroneous SUEME (come on Call N. Alcars...) world, these two extra boys' Mama could probably file lawsuit against the RICHEST pizza franchise in the world for allowing their boys to be "SHOT AT?"
And what about the pain and suffering that Hambone went through. He has lived through a massive heart attack, already.
Hambone, if you see a BMW drive up with a personalized car tag that reads BIGBOSS and smelling of oregano, open the door. They are bringing you a big check for being a Good Guy that missed on purpose.
Pizza Hut has the best pizza on earth.
Eat inside.
And bring your own coke if Pepsi is not OK with you.
I gotta run. It took me two minutes to write this silly blog.
That is 12,000,000 in Pizza Hut dollars.
Nothing against 'Bone, but more people knew Hitler than know the Pope. Did this make him an honest man?
I hope the rest of Barnesville answers you also.
If my son was delivering pizza, cornbread and buttermilk or chittlins, I would be sure he had a GPS if the billion dollar company that he works for could not afford one.
But my son's safety is valuable to me. Maybe yours is not.

How many pizza delivery people do they have in this big town anyway?
Are you the manager? I would use Anonymous also if I were you.
Now I would like for you to reread the remark you made about people in this town that make it a terrible place to raise kids ! I believe your home is a terrible place to raise any kid , because the first lesson they will learn is to be judgmental of others . If you have kids don't be disappointed if they're not everything you hope for . If you don't like Hamrick's Pawn Shop , then don't look when you ride by ! Furthermore, if you think people like Hambone make this town a terrible place to live , then MOVE your perfect judgmental self somewhere else and find that people are different everywhere you go !
As for an education , I agree everyone should try to receive an education to function in society . I received a GED and some further technical training . An education is just knowledge , it does not change who a person is at heart .
It really tickles me when Anonymous gets so rattled. When Wal Mart puts their Senses of Humor back on sale, I am going to purchase one for you.
Will you please answer one question for me. Why do you continue to read my comments? That just fascinates the hell out of me.
The reason that I ask you the question, as the Anonymous representative, is because I respect your opinion so much.
The reason I respect your opinion is because you have utilized the "L" in your LOL's in such an efficient manner. I have never quite seen such forethought. Then you come back with another JAB with that big old word "advocate." Now if you can just copy "Sheila" correctly from that screen in front...YOU will be my horse if you never win a race.
(Call N. Allcars has already said "that he loves me the best after his wife, so don't be trying to get on his good side."
If you are a lost pizza hut delivery boy, don't take the pizza with you to a house when asking directions. Leave it in the car so it will stay warm. It is already going to be free because your twenty minute delivery promise is gone, pizza boy.
Anyone but Hambone would have taken that pizza from you.
And sent you after beer.
I like bone and all that but there is no way in hell I would get away with this if it was me that did this. In what way did he feel violated or in danger to pull his firearm and start firing towards people
My very own uncle got caught a'brandishing one time. Well, I don't have to tell you...he learnt his darn lesson! He didn't brandish no more after he got out of jail that last time.
This concept brings together social networks, blogs, forums and other Internet tools, along with the mainstream news media in order to create a perception of truth. Some of those principles are being played out now. Perception Management and FREE publicity. What a great idea!
Looka here..looka here and realize the "lost driver" has now attained Cult Status. I'll search for the YouTube video in a few minutes. This mysterious pizza delivery driver is reportedly a "student" at an un-named school. Why was the school's name omitted? That 'student/driver' will soon be elevated from cult status to an asterisked Urban Legend along side Hambone. What happens after a certain proud Peacock struts into our fair city and preens some Waller Eagle feathers regarding an incident report of the "shooting".
My comment #33 on the original story is similar to the '3 day wait' explanation given by manager Jason McNeal. BTW: McNeal said, "The local franchise has nine drivers and only two such signs"... That's an interesting statement. In my 'looka here' moment, I visualize the 9 drivers sharing 3 pizza delivery cars with each vehicle being occupied by 1 driver and 2 ride alongs who provide general area directions to the pizza delivery point. That covers the "lost" part of his explanation. But, I confused. I would like to know if driver senority dictates which 2 vehicles display the 'car topper signs'. How does that work?

Will you still meet me on Possum Trot Road after you get off work? I got a Papa Johns car with a Pizza Hut sign. I know we can do something with all that.

Hambone, Hambone, Hambone where Ya goin'
Its a wrap for you all.
Your ignorant ways of thinking will do you in eventually.
That little town can't continue to support that much ignorance and foolishness. Its about to implodes on itself.
Its like two negatives cancelling themselves out. Its like less than zero. How low you gotta go?
And Shelia, ATTEMPTING to play the devil's advocate? Please don't use that argument in court on "DIRTY HAmbone's" behalf. You gonna get the book thrown at him, well maybe not, I forgot we in Barnesville.
He did an Illegal thing and hes in trouble.
"Nobody can stop you from shooting at the ground if you live in the cun-try'"
Read a book people.
"Hamebone did the right thing shooting at the ground. It is can be life changing when you have to make a decision in a split second. I hope any criminals are advised law abiding citizens are prepared."
He most certainly DID NOT do the "right" thing. Someone stopping for directions does NOT need to fear for their life in this manner. "Hambone" needs to meet the law.
Let see what our brought back sheriff does about this.
but I have to ask WHY did Hambone shot. What the boy doing? If there was other people in the car what were they doing?
If the boy was just standing on the porch and the others in the car he had no reason to fire. Hambone need to explain at what point and why his and his familys life felt threatend. If he can not show this then he was wrong for firing the gun at all. even if he shot at the ground.
This statement is unequivocally the most ridiculous part of this entire event. All you Anonymous feel free to poise for the jump on me.
HOW far out of control is a business that has a new delivery boy...shot at...written about in the paper...go for THREE days and say "there is no explanation why THE EMPLOYEE did not come forward."
Did the Pizza Hut manager know that he worked for Pizza Hut? Do they know WHO they send WHERE with WHICH pizza? Is being shot at...a typical day in the life of a B'ville pizza delivery boy? When asked, "How was your first day?"...surely a manager would ask that of each new employee. And the kid responded, "It was fine. The guy with the BIG GLOCK missed so I will see you tomorrow."
What does the MANAGER say in response?
"Yeah, these old country boys get a little rowdy on Superbowl Sunday, I am glad he missed, see you tomorrow."
I do not care if you are the MANAGER, the DISTRICT MANAGER, MR. PIZZA HUT, PAPA JOHN or MOTHER GOOSE..........You tell me there is not something wrong with this picture.
DAMN.
I heard they are going to buy B'ville seven more signs.
Sounds like Pizza Hut has a sign problem like The Titanic had a lifeboat problem.
"Now you hurry on back with that lifeboat Molly Brown, we got a bunch more people we got to get off this boat."
Barnesville is not that big.
Pizza hut only delivers with in so many minute of the store.
Pizza Hut has detailed maps of the delivery area.
The address is printed and placed on the box.
Questions:
Who is this delivery person?
Is he from B-ville?
What is his financial situation?
Did someone do a drug test on him that test for prescription drugs as well?
Don't you find it strange that he ends up at Hambones? What is the connction?
What I see is that someone wants MONEY...
Money from Pizza Hut and
Money from Hambone.
Hambone, if you thought they were burgulars there to rob you or harm you and your parents, why did you leave the safety of your house to confront them?
I visualize a best selling novel being written about the events of the past few days. There was gunfire, a souped up Buick, misadventure, suspense, drama, double talk, the good sheriff, a strutting peacock, corporate type managerial media spokesman, a mute pizza delivery person unable to tell time and abetted by his two wayward sidekicks, and last but not least, we have local legend and villan, Hambone 'looka here' Hammer. The fictional characters are almost complete but something is missing. Let's see...hmmm.
I know! The missing piece to the storyline is ROMANCE. The steamy and sweltering Georgia heat kind of romance found only in Barnesville. This book should also be politically correct and has to include some ethnic characters and some gays in the sub-plot. Realize this is only an outline, but, what if I had male sidekick #1 (Jashawn) be an African-American who has an overpowering amorous disposition for male sidekick #2 (Vikram) who is East Indian. Both sidekicks are still in the "closet" and unaware of the each others passionate proclivities. While riding in the back seat of the big Buick, they each express their requited feelings for each other. I could have the perky part-time white girl cashier at the Pissa Hutt secretly lusting for the "lost" driver and both sidekicks. Isn't that multi-ethnici love triangle some outstanding examples of political correctness? Oh! I forgot to include a genuine office holding elected politician.
Let's have Lil' Sweet Jashawn as the scion of wealthy and powerful county commissioner and entertainment mogul, Big Daddy Lennie Morton. Realize this is a fictional draft and I have never written a novel. Maybe the book requires more balancing. I could have villianous Hairy Hambone sneaking around with the cute little blonde Norwegian teenager at the Harald Gazete newspaper. I'll work more on that sub-sub-plot.
My goodness!..It's way past midnight already and my Metamucil is percolating. Have to run downstairs FAST!...NOW.. will finish later. Will someone pitch in and help this struggling potential "best selling author"?
