Gypsi, that reminds me of my uncle. My uncle was a capt. for sheriff Mickey Owen, (yes the ex-ball player) and was at a boiled shrimp cookout that Mickey had for his deputies. Mickey ask my uncle (an old country boy) how he liked the shrimp, my uncle replied, i don't, their to tough, Mickey laughed and said, bob, you have to peel them before you eat them. Jack
