This is a true story about my buddy Bob: Years ago the first day of hunting season in Nova Scotia was always the 1st day of November, so Bob and a friend Ray purchased a sheep, shot it and hung it over one fender of his red Volvo, then they purchased a pig, and placed it on the other fender. At exactly 10 am when the Fo'c's'le Tavern in Chester opened they drove up, parked their car and went into the tavern. It was not too long before the Mounties showed up and asked Bob and Ray to come outside, small town, they knew everyone's car. The mountie asked Bob the purpose of a pig and a sheep on their car. With a straight face they produced their hunting licenses and stated it was the first day of hunting season. The mounties did laugh and then asked them to please take the animals home. Bob inquired as to whether there was a law against having a pig & sheep on their car. The mounties said , no, not that they were aware of!
Bob an Ray went back into the tavern and stayed for a long , long lunch, and then took home their game. CC #2 (origin- my Buddy Bob and his Buddy Ray of Chester N.S.)
