Moving. I bought a house way out in the country. It's about a mile from my Uncle Audie Steven's place. What a beautiful ranch habit. I call it the Lumbago Ranch. from Beggo Ranch. Yep, why did you name it?

Lumbago because it's got a creek in the back. What's there? You tell me what do you want with that ranch? I'm going to raise monkeys. Yeah, you go ranch to raise monkeys. Sure. You're not nuts.

Well, what's better for a nut than a monkey ranch? Oh, I'm sorry. Hey, you watch me folks. Well, well, I knew that line I had to continue. Thank you. What was that? What was that?
