Now me, NOT being from an agricultural section, was dumbfounded a few years back when we were gathered at the camp. Some Nth. LA rednecks camp next to me, and one of them was telling a story about a rabbit hunt they were on, and he said he jumped a few rabbits and none of them would run. He said he couldn't figure out why until he went home and checked some calender and he said he saw why. He said " the sign was pointing at the tail." The rest of the red necks were like, " Oh, well that explains that."

I let silence pass a few seconds. and I couldn't help but to ask. " What the hel are yall talking about a sign pointing at a tail, and that being why the rabbit didn't run ? I thought for sure they had too many long necks. I didn't have a clue. Do yall know ?
