Claim: "Cause I cause disasters like the Dukes of Hazard" from "Bow Wow Wow"

Breakdown: First, we have to question whether Bo and Luke Duke, residents of Hazzard County, did cause any actual disasters. As far as a true disaster (along the lines of flooding, an immense fire, a hurricane, a massive terrorist attack, or any other calamity that causes millions of dollars in damage) the backwoods means of the Dukes would be hard pressed to cause any such disaster. Hell, the two barely held a job, how could they fund a terror operation? That said, they did wreak havoc on the county's law enforcement structure. Massive damage to the police department's cruiser fleet was inflicted from 1979 to 1985 by the Dukes, as well as mental anguish to the leaders of the county and substantial damage to the seemingly endless amount of uncompleted bridge work in the county. Son Doobie was never known for any such mayhem, in fact, at the time he was too young to drive the General Lee which caused much of the said "disasters."

Conclusion: Son Doobie did not cause disasters like the Dukes of Hazard.
