Derb’s post brings to mind an episode from the classic BBC comedy, “Only Fools and Horses,” about a family of ne’er-do-wells living on the edge of the law trying to make money by any means other than working. The main character, Del Boy, was also a wannabe social climber. In this episode, he had managed to get invited pheasant-hunting by a country gentleman and set out in ill-fitting tweeds, green Wellington boots and country cap and assured him he had his own gun. When the beaters stirred up the birds (I have no idea whether this is the correct terminology), Del Boy pulled out a pump-action shotgun. For some reason, I can imagine Rudy doing the same.
