Boone and Crockett chair
See, this is the advantage of bein' an erudite redneck. Ol' ER can read this straight, as it was intended, or while bitin' his lip to keep from crackin' up. 'Cause he can just see how some damnYankee -- OK, or Foxworthy -- might make a big joke out of it. 'Cause it IS funny, in a way.
