And let me add that my coat is warm...

Thanks to her handicap, my late first wife had a serious temperature-regulating problem, and the only thing that would keep her warm in the winter was fur.

We tried every natural and man-made substance available, but the only thing that worked was fur.

She wore coats outside, and had a bunny-rabbit blanket for indoors.

I guess it's time to ask for a fur coat again! I have a birthday coming in February---it's the coat or a facelift. I wonder which one he'll go for????????

The ultimate politically incorrect act is to smoke a big stogie while wearing a fur coat. I make sure to do that every very cold day. :-)

Fur is just fine.

Before anyone asks, I have skinned many an animal. All for the stewpot.

But if there had been any market for squirrel skins back then I surely would have cashed in.

Idiots who think that meat is murder should be reminded that they ARE meat.

Forget the face-lift, you get the chinchilla, he gets the beaver, it's win-win.

"Just look at Canadian actor William Shatner.

I didn't know Denny Crane was a Canadian. He sure is a conservative!

I want to crash a PETA rally furiously waving a ham hock with one hand and a drum stick with the other. I'd be sporting a "pimp style" full length fur coat and gigantic fur hat both trimmed with an alligator and a half worth of leather.

Imagine a huge meat eating Yeti that hates commies. My sign: "I am meat man."

I've never understood that whole (really expensive) "Fur Coat" thing some woman have.

They don't. You're thinking of Lucy Ricardo.

You don't have to be a PETA freak to find wearing dead animals weird. And I'm so politically incorrect, that I want to take up smoking just for the statement!

My sister and I have our response ready if ever confronted by some PETA twit. "Let me guess, you have no problem with abortion."

Or throw their mantra back in their faces: "Hey, maaaaaaaaaan--don't force your morals on me!"

I have a very pretty full-length leather coat. It's a rusty brown, made of lambskin. My Mom found it for me, second-hand, from a very swanky Madistan shop...that's no longer in business due to the PETA and leftists freaks in this town. I. Love. It. My Mom is a seamstress and worked for Savadusky Furs for a number of years. She'd have me stop by at the end of the business day and we'd play Dress Up with all the furs in storage. Chinchilla, for sure. Best of the best. :)

I've never wanted a new fur, but if I find one that fits me perfectly on the second-hand market, or from some wealthy local woman who's "downsizing," I'll be snatching it up. In high school I had a coat that had a curly lambswool collar. It was like wearing a Poodle around your neck...and it was so warm! I was Thrift Shop before Thrift Shop became cool. ;)

My friend has a full length black mink coat. I think it's that "Blackgama" brand. It is awesome. You just want to pet her whenever she wears it...proudly...while driving her BMW SUV, LOL! You gotta love it. She'd just flick those PETA freaks away like a stray booger, if any dared to bother her; she's got that "I'll Kill You If You Speak To Me," look down cold, LOL!

Funny how the "cool" fur thing is being driven by celebrities...

Just like smoking.
