Timmy was not a pud-whacker because of his Bible upbringing. Rose, the neighbor girl, wanted Timmy to not do the normal amount of pud-whacking because she wanted to marry him and have lots of children, maybe 1 every 11 months for 8 years, even Joyce advised Timmy against pud-whacking. One day, while Timmy was eating asparagus Gus from 3 towns over broke down in front of Joyce's house. "Hey Joyce! How's Timmy doing?!"; "Fine. He did a little pud-whacking last night but he's okay now."
