Along with being a great cowboy star, Roy Rogers was also a golf nut. He bought a new pair of spikes and, like any new pair of shoes, they required some break-in. He wore them around the yard for several hours and then gave them a shot of neatsfoot and saddle soap. He put in the shoe trees tightly and left them on the back porch to dry.

The next morning he came out to find them totally ravaged, ripped, chomped, and shredded beyond use. A mountain lion had been seen around the ranch and as Dale and Roy were bemoaning the damage, a loud snarling sound came out of the woods. Roy was picking up the shreds of his "Foot-Joys" when Dale turned and asked, "Pardon me Roy, is that the cat who chewed your new shoes?"

First time I heard that turkey I was living in Chattanooga and have never heard the word since without thinking Catwhochewedyournewshoes instead.
