You really do have to wonder what type of sick, mseed-up things happened to this clown in LBB.... I will bet he was comparing paychecks with a couple of roughnecks and they got pissed enough to introduce Gen to Ned and his Gimp....
-Good times, eh flashback?
"But Ned, you dont' understand, I am THE General Lee."
"OK, General." "Hey Gimp, make sure his ball gag has a star on it."
