Options:
1.
Page , springmom, Barbara, Tamara, Sandy Ashcraft, and other ladies and beg, grovel, whine, *ack* *cough* *I'm sick* and other dumb Southern Boys strategy and tactics, to get these most wonderful ladies to take my side and all.
2.
Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey and more money.

"I gotta see a man about a dawg" -I sez
"He is either going outside to pee ,or going out for smokes"
"Well he fired up his truck, and pulled out, he must be going for smokes"
<Young Gun Soundtrack here>
Hey if I am going down, I gotta look good, going down with my tennis shoes on, Case Peanut in pocket and all that Cowboy stuff - right?
Right!
Great, now I get folks to agree with me...
I return from seeing a man about a dawg...

"Say, you are ba..."
"Step, back, I wanna see hands, and all you gals head off down the hall to the Master Bedroom...do it now, and don't be dilly-dallying about it neither, you'll knowed when its time to come out..."
I said in a assertive tone...
"What about me, the handsome dawg and all?" - asked the dawg.
"Your butt is going outside..." - I said as I closed the back door behind him
<up to something in the kitchen>
<Bon Jovi on CD , cranked>
Gals come out of the back...
I wuz doing my best Marlboro lean against the cabinet.
"That'll be close enough" I sez
"Now them guns are Handsome, and them crimped ctgs are Neat, ain't they?"
Handsome, yes they are! Them shells are so damn Neat...
Yep, Handsome, Neat!
Oh hell yeah, the most Handsome, and Neatest you ever laid eyes on...
So handsome and neat done got me a case of the vapors coming on I do believe ...
Four gals: Large dealie of Cheese dip, Salsa, Chips , Rocky Road Ice Cream, and Double Chocolate Cake, Coffee with a hint of Vanilla and Hazelnut...
<scratch, scratch at the back door>
"Yeah, whadday you want you mangy mutt!?"
"I'm handsome, but I smelled foood! So I can be a mangy mutt for a little bit and I changed my mind, to Handsome & Neat too, umm, would there would happen to be a Sonic Mustard burger in there with my name on it ...and could I puh-leeze have just a dab of that cheese dip too?"
Don't go up an older Southern Boy, nuh-uh, he has been there done that, raised right and picked up some experiences along the way.
