Matt was clearly in the best position to better the Ham girl in this mini debate, had the high ground as it were. He kept his cool and had the facts ready to fend off her probes.

Several times he left her with no other retort that to claim that he was “over the top”. Like HST said, “I just tell them the truth and they think it’s hell”. He pointed to the obvious contradictions in her arguments and had her floundering.

The highlight for me was when the old vet called in and dressed Ham down, the look on her face was telling.

Attaboy, Matt!

More like this, please.
