Hey, let me tell y'all a true story.

My husband was in a casino just two days ago, and a lout dressed in camo called a female pit boss a cunt. (A pit boss is one step higher than a dealer.) Then what happened?

1. The pit boss was relieved of her place and a different pit boss came on, so the insulted woman would not be involved in a confrontation.

2. Three burly, steel-eyed security people (one female, two male) escorted the player and his sniggering buddy out of the casino.

3. Their hotel room for that night was cancelled.

I'm telling you this just so you know that there are places in this world where the kind of nastiness in this song is not considered funny. In fact, 'abnormal and vicious' would be more like it.

PS Do you really believe a swash-buckling, two-fisted fighter wrote a verse with 'mauve' in it? Give me a break.
