"Goliath you know, that big fellow in the Bible, Toby Reynolds of Johnson City, Tennessee said. "He stopped by Knoxville last week and got himself a new wardrobe. Shoes, hat, shirt, suit and belt. Got a necktie, too. Some socks and underclothes, Striped ones, you know. Never wore them back in the Bible days."
'He spent a bunch of dough in that department store. The whole place was buzzing, pointing at the big guy. He growed some since he fought Davy. And I don't mean Crockett."
"Stands about eleven feet, seven in his bare feet. Bumps his head on the ceiling nearly every place he goes. He loves the Church. Loves the Lord. Almost as much as enjoys eating, which is a lot, believe you me. I seen him eat seven fried chickens, a bucket of grits, two dozen biscuits and a gallon of gravy. And more baked beans and tossed salad that would kill a normal Christian. But not Goliath."
"Anyways he got himself this blue suit with fancy red lining in it. He wears a size 102. They had to measure him and cut the fabric to come with a customized suit. He's big, you know. Waist size alone is 96, which is about as big as a parking lot."
"Looking at himself in the mirror, Goliath had to stoop to get a good look at himself. He don't fit too good in department stores. He had to scrunch down. At one point, he kneeled and smiled. The store clerks were running in all directions, fetching him neckties and socks and hats to try on. They wanted Goliath to have a good shopping experience."
"The poporazzi were there. Flashbulbs were going. People were cheering. It got a little crazy. Particularly when Goliath raised his arm and waved to crowd. He really knows how to get the crowd going."
