The Power of Physics
Ornery Ernest, otherwise known as O.E... A real cock fightin’ fool from the South, who, even though from Arkansas, thought of himself as French. O.E. had seen Marcel Marceau once on television doing his famous pantomime and decided to adopt some of the technique as his own. as a fighter, he perfected the rodeo pickle dance, a skillful combination of pantomime and pickle pepper juice. Just before the match, O.E. would soak himself in the odious juice. Once the fight began, he would get so worked up in the ring that pickly perspiration from his pantomiming pickle peppered body would defy the laws of physics, and the pickle perspiration would turn into a solid mass of peppered pickles. Needless to say, his opponents were easily subdued.
