So, tell me the story of how you came into posession of that ceramic cat.
It belonged to my great, great grandfather, Elijah Honus. It was given to him by General Lee after Lee's victory at Gettysburg.
I see. A very interesting provenance! Except for the little sticker on the bottom that says, "Made in Taiwan."
Yes, I understand General Lee was always importing interesting fine objects d'art from the Orient!
Well, outside of the fact that this ceramic cat is worth $2 at a flea market, you should realize that Lee lost at Gettysburg.
The South shall rise again!
