I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule.” AC: “I’m not so sure that that is so.” NH: “You didn’t grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?” AC: “Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?” NH: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality… Welcome to domestic life on the farm…" ---

I grew up on a farm in Georgia. I most definitely did NOT have sex with a mule (or any other farm animals, for that matter). When will these broad stereotypes disappear? Og damn! It’s about as bad as the Hollywood Southern accent. I’ve lived in Georgia all my life and never heard a real live person talk the way movies portray southern people. ---

The stereotype rant was in regards to Neal Horsely’s comment, not your OP, **Ca3799**. ---

> [@The Composer](#): > > I grew up on a farm in Georgia. I most definitely did NOT have sex with a mule (or any other farm animals, for that matter). Ditto. But then maybe we just had an especially unattractive mule. As I was saying in the other thread on this topic, I have seen some stats on this subject. (Googling…) Ah, here we go. [The Master speaks](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/020412.html): > [@](#): > > According to Alfred Kinsey–you knew I was going to drag him into this–“some 17 percent of the farm boys in our sample had had some sexual contact with farm animals to the point of orgasm, while half or more of the boys from certain rural areas of the United States had had such experience.” Kinsey later alludes to the greater tolerance for such things in the west. I take this to mean that in Kinsey’s day, when you saw a happy couple walking down the aisle in Wyoming, it was better than even money that the groom had had sex with a sheep. ---

Colmes should have asked Horsley if the mule noticed. (Horsely? Ya gotta be kiddin’. What are mules anyway but the product of a horse and an ass?) ---

> [@](#): > > Where do they find these people, anyway? How can anyone possibly take this frothing maniac seriously (much less back him politically) after reading that? Well, Pat Robertson is still successfully bilking the old and sick under the auspices of being a ‘Faith Healer’ even though it’s common knowledge that when his own prostate got a little funky, he eschewed the healing hand of Jesus and sought out the best secular medicine money could buy. That’s a hell of a lot worse than shagging a mule (little teases that they are), yet millions of people still revere the malevolent old bastard. Going by that I reckon the 5 or 6 people who ever tool Neal Horsley seriously probably won’t give this little incident pause for thought. ---

This reminds me of the twelve-steppers’ “degradation contest” that William Burroughs denigrated in _Naked Lunch_: > [@](#): > > And I won this ribbon in a Degradation Contest at the Teheran meeting of Junkies Anonymous." > > "Shot up my wife’s M.S, and her down with a kidney stone big as the Hope Diamond. So I give her half a Vagamin and tell her, "You can’t expect too much re- lief… Shut up awready. I wanta enjoy my medica- tions. > > “Stole an opium suppository out of my grandmother’s ass.” It’s a common syndrome. The worse the sin, the more value the repentance has. Exaggerate the sin, and increase the value of your salvation. Of _course_ farm-boys fuck animals. That emphasizes how badly they need the light of Jesus. To suggest that people don’t naturally lust after everything that is potentially fuckable somehow devalues religion, in this twisted way of thinking. ---
