Cousin Eddie
Cousin Eddie: He's cute, ain't he? Problem is, he's got a bit of Mississippi Leg Hound in him. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. Don't want him around if you're wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. A word of warning, though. If he lays into you, it's best to just let him finish.

Cousin Eddie
Cousin Eddie: You know that metal plate in my head? I had to have it replaced because every time Cathrine revved up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for a half-hour or so. Over at the V.A. they replaced it with a plastic one and it ain't as strong, so, I don't know if I ought to go down no hill with nothing between the ground and my brain but a piece of government plastic.
