    That is one of my favorite songs and a couple of their other ones too but I can't stand to watch the fools. There is funny and there is stupid...

    OK story time... many moons ago w hen I was 16 or so and loved deer camp.. one of my father's coworkers in a blue collar town had a beer I mean deer camp experience. . like many families then mom's... stayed home.. so let's call him bob.. bob asked his wife to pack his things so he could go to hunting camp right when he got off work... his caring wife did and even brought them to the factory so he could leave right away ... nice wife... now bob smoked cigarettes and of course his wife was trying to get him to quit... which he promised her he would.. but after hunting..

    now I figure this story out because VT has a bottle 5 cent return can policy so I go up with a truck and yes a trailer to help.. meaning I get the bottles and maybe a few (too few) unfinished fifths..

    so anyway Bob is grumbling the whole time I am "volunteering" to pick up cases of emptys out of the camp. usually 150 or so dollars..

    Bob saying.. you just wait til I get home that **itch didn't pack my smokes I am gonna tear her a new one.. she always packs me 2 cartons.. of course the local gas station in middle of no where charges xx more money.. well it's on my charge card now.. and that's less money she's gets for whatever.. blah blah blah... deer season in VT finishes weekend after thanksgiving.. she just wanted me to go to her parents .. etc etc . this stuck out to me... anyway bob says heh I got too much left over too fit can you bring some to my place I will throw ya an extra $20
    SURE :D minimum wage is like 4 dollars an hour.. the whole town is 1 square mile so good money...

    so we pull up to his house.... I of course am helping him unload... it starts he starts giving his wife a hard time... why didn't you pack my smokes?

    wife ...I did
    bob ... well damxxxt they art there!
    wife .. honey I put them.
    Bob... interrupt the he77 ya did they ain't there
    wife .. Bob they are...
    he goes off I quietly go back to car for last cooler I will leave on deck outside sliding glass door... he going OFF.. probably hung over I figure..
    as I get the cooler I see thru the sliding glass door..
    his wife walk over to his gun case laying on dining room table.. unzips it and in her hand is his 2 cartons...:bug:

    I left.. I figured I got my 20 dollars worth..

    YUP! You nailed it there Dennis!

    Had the chance to go see them back when they played at bars and passed it up for that reason.

    I could tell a few but I don't want the Wardens knocking on the door.
