Here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna go out to our flocks and get two young goats. No more, no less. You will kill and skin those goats. Cook the meat into a stew, the way your father likes it. You will then cover your arms and neck with the skins, you understand?

There Are No Words to Express The Feelings This Causes

And in case you think it’s a gag, here’s the ad. And another. And another in which he is wearing other clothing, which only further begs the question, what in God’s name is this?
