Growing up, I had led a rather sheltered life. I had never traveled more than 200 miles from my home. The most exotic place I'd ever been was Myrtle Beach. To me, Roanoke was a city of electrifying splendor.
I was a farm boy. And after 18 years of cows, chickens, church suppers and weed pulling, I was finally off to college and a life of my own.

How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm, indeed! I don't know how you unearthed this scene, which I'd totally forgot, from that appalling movie. I have a vague memory of its shocking scene, one I couldn't believe. I think, I recall, I mean, didn't they use BUTTER as a lubricant?
