He looks like a biker 'cause he is one. He's also played bikers and cowboys on TV.

It probably doesn't help him that he's got the attitude to match.

"You liking that?" is not the right thing to say to the officer giving you the pat down.

First they've heard that many times before, second that's not why they're giving you shit.

It's all fucking theater for the rubes.
