I had a friend who had a cabin in East Texas in the “Big Thicket”. Every time I would visit this obnoxious rooster would dart through the woods and attack me. I was starting to develop a complex. I thought maybe I was emitting some kind of virulent pheromone making the rooster aggressive. I asked my friend what I was doing wrong? He laughed and told me “Henry does that to everyone. In fact he named him after his obstreperous father in law ,Henry.
It all made sense.
