Happy Monday morning to y'all!!

I received the following story from two different folks over the week-end. So I'll call it a Monday morning smiler......

Ted Nugent

Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan, was being interviewed by a liberal journalist, an animal rights activist. The discussion came around to deer hunting. The journalist asked, 'What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, 'Are you my friend?' or is it 'Are you the one who killed my brother?
Nugent replied, 'Deer aren't capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, what am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the Democrats in Congress.'
The interview ended.

I got to thinking about it, and decided that the quote was just too good to be true -- and spent some time sourcing it before I shared it with y'all.  Apparently way back in 2006, when Nugent was in his anti-French mood because they wouldn't assist in Iraq,  he did make that statement ... sorta:

In an interview with the British Journalist Robert Chalmers of the UK Independent, Chalmers asked;  "What do these deer think when they see you coming?" -- "Here comes that nice guy who puts out our dinner?" Or, "There's the man who shot my brother?"

"I don't think they're capable of either of those thoughts, you Limey asshole. They are only interest in three things: the best place to eat, having sex, and how quickly they can run away. Much like the French."

And there, Partners.... you have the rest of the story as told by Snopes...      Both stories are funny as well as believable.
