You see, it all started mid 18th century. 'Merica was in war. The french were aiding the colonies. Doing so, they would carry rams on their ships because "we be frech. We fuck rams. Not sheeps" type attitude. Later, during the civil war, the south hated the french just as much as ol colored folks. So, to this day, unlike Compton where nigglets toss old tennis shoes on linewires, in the south (like north/south carolina) they toss a ram. Then go about drinking applepie moonshine.
