Newt and PES opinions seem to be correct. Mark Levin interviewed actor Jon Voight on "Life, Liberty & Levin". In one segment they talked about Burt Reynolds and how Voight and Reynolds became life long friend while making "Deliverance". Voight told a story about Reynolds on the set of "Deliverance". Like most sets there are director chairs with the actors names silk screened on the backs. Well every day between shooting Reynolds would sit in Voight's chair. At first it didn't bother Voight, but after days and days of this happening Voight began to think Burt was playing some kind of macho mind game on him. Voight couldn't take it any longer so he confronted Burt asking him why had he been using Voight's chair. Reynolds smiled and said, "Because I can see the back of the chair with my name on it from here".
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
