Eric grabbing life by the horns

So have you ever wondered what social standard your characterized in, I have, and I"m afraid its not upper class (socially).
Eric, and I were up around 12:30 midnight, and the dogs started going crazy outside. Eric was only in his undies (we were going to bed), and he didn't see the point of putting them on since everyone sane was in bed a sleep (maybe we should question our sanity for staying up till 1-2 o'clock most nights). So I herd his feet speed run down the driveway, and across the front sidewalk, and lawn. I heard this go on for a couple minutes, and out of curiosity I go out in my pj's, I was surprised to see Eric on the driveway just standing there with the motion light on. I asked how he could be out in just his undies? He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care what people think". I asked him what he was running after, and he said there was a wiener dog that wouldn't go away, so he was hiding behind stuff, and jumping out to scare the dog off. At that point the cow starts thrashing his horns into the fence (that's how he asks for food), he could easily tear the fence up ( he knows this, he has done it a couple times). Eric grabs him some hay, and when he goes to put it into his trough the cow horns him in the arm. If you know Eric you know he doesn't put up with getting bullied around, so he grabs him by the horns, and twists him till he falls over. The rooster starts crowing, and the chickens start waking up. We decide we better go in before we wake up the whole neighborhood. I start laughing, because I'm not sure you can get anymore "hick" than this. BUT I think ignorance really can be bliss at times, I wonder if you can have selective ignorance? Luv ya, Heidi

it has been my experience that selective ignorance is not only a common occurance, but can come in quite handy...That is too funny about the cow. I can just picture him in his underwear wrestling a cow at 2 am. Hilarious.
