How Slim Pickens replaced Peter Sellers as Major Kong in Dr. Strangelove
The writer cheerfully cracked open a bottle of Wild Turkey to set the mood, and asked Pickens if he had settled into his hotel okay, and if everything was fine and dandy. Slim took a big slurp of his drink, wiped the back of his hand against and mouth and replied: “Wal, it’s like this ole friend of mine from Oklahoma says: Jest gimme a pair of loose-fittin’ shoes, some tight pussy, and a warm place to shit, an’ ah’ll be all right.” Too pinko for Dan or | Flashbak

First time I heard that it was attributed to Earl Butz. Earl reputedly said a butt load of funny and relevant things that libs and blacks didn't like but that didn't make them any less funny or for that matter, true.
I miss Slim.
