Good point. It's the same as the small penis argument, they are trying to compensate for their limitations in other ways

but it is the way I rationalize it. Around here I usually get crap from rednecks. A couple times I gotten cheered on by African-Americans though. [/B]
Yeah, we've got quite a few rednecks around here too. What's gonna be really scary is when I get one of those polka-dot jerseys (when I get money)
