I'm guessing you've never been in Northern California. I have. There are
Bush Vets there. I met two last time I was up there co-producing my last
film
"You Can't Fill Big Foot's Big Shoes With Bare Feet." 

Available at Blockbuster. 


Vet A.   happened to be a real Bush Vet. Originally from some country in
South America (he suspects he was born in Chile), he was orphaned as an
infant and
never learned to speak Spanish properly but learned to speak perfect
English after being adopted by and working for a movie company owned and
operated by
Catholic Charities in Belmopan.  That's how he ended up in the
Australian Bush. He played a John Wayne look alike Bush Vet who develops
a
fetish for sheep  while working on "The Sun Always Sets On the Wrong
Side in Vietnam" (1977) in Australia. Has become  quite the cult film
in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, Choler, his real name, doesn't get any
royalties. 

Vet BB. is dead. May he rest in peace. After winning the local craw dad
eating contest, Vet BB. celebrated with a few too many cold ones. He has
this real strange pick-up camper with a cedar roof, stovepipe sticking
out the top. He was cooking and driving. 
When he pulled into his garage his stovepipe bent and he was smoked to
death.
