"It's just exaggerating traits that are somewhat common, for the sake of humour."

Well, I'm glad SOMEONE here is literary-minded enough to recognise it when they see it and acknowledge it...

Exaggeration, even hyperbole is necessary for most forms of comedy...

Lemme guess, folks here think Dennis Leary really smokes that much?? Or that Todd Snyder really thinks he's "An Alright Guy"?

And I still l don't know what or who a sandytoes is... and quote frankly I don't really care... And well, I care not a tinkers cuss for your 'hooks'... I can't be 'let off' them because I'm not anywhere near them...

And what the hell is a "Chuck(Tar Heel) Hemrick"????
