<P> In another episode, he mentions that his mother wanted him to become an electrical engineer . Given the opportunity, Boomhauer will demonstrate that he is, in fact, quite cultured . In "Ceci N'Est Pas Une King of the Hill", Hank makes remarks about art that deride its modern state, provoking Boomhauer to call him ignorant, going so far as to cite Dadaism and the famed Marcel Duchamp work Fountain . He is the only character who initially understood the meaning behind Kahn's story at Buckley's funeral, and the symbolic meanings of the novel Dinner of Onions in Full Metal Dust Jacket . </P> <P> Three of the main characters (Hank, Dale, and Boomhauer) graduated from high school together (Bill did not complete his senior year having enlisted in the United States Army). Boomhauer was the starting quarterback for the football team, while Hank was a running back and Bill was an offensive lineman and a fullback . Dale, not being as athletic as his friends, was the towel manager . Dale referred to basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain as Boomhauer's idol in the season 11 episode serPUNt . According to Hank, Boomhauer is allergic to macadamia nuts . Boomhauer is the most modern of the four friends, and as such was first to own a cell phone . </P> <P> Boomhauer's occupation was not made clear throughout the series . The thirteenth - season episode "To Sirloin With Love" reveals that Boomhauer has a Texas Ranger badge in his wallet . An early episode reveals that Boomhauer worked as an electrician until he was put on worker's compensation for unknown reasons, leaving open the possibility that his electrician work was a cover or predecessor to his law enforcement career . In "Three Coaches and a Bobby," Hank and the guys run into their old high school football coach . Coach Sauers asks Boomhauer how the family is, and Boomhauer says "Man they're doin' fine, man . Man lil' dang old down in old Florida man, like ol' lottery winner, man, like all, just no problems, man ." Coach Sauers responds "I'm sorry to hear that ." It's possible that Boomhauer has a rich benefactor . </P> <P> Boomhauer's speech patterns are nearly incomprehensible to the untrained audience and serve as a recurring theme . He mumbles, usually quite fast, and invariably uses the words "dang ol"' as an all - purpose adjective, sometimes several times in a single sentence . He also uses the phrases "I tell ya what" and "man" frequently . His heavy Southern accent sometimes leads to misunderstandings about his mental capacity; it's been made clear that he is an intelligent person who expresses that in an inimitable way, such as a memorable occasion where the group's anger at Bill leads to Hank finding out he has the word "Bill" tattooed on his head, and Boomhauer chuckles as he says "life will throw you dang ol' curveball man, like dang ol' Sandy Koufax" (a reference to the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher who was known for the unhittable pitch Boomhauer described). In the fourth - season episode "Naked Ambition", he was admitted to a mental hospital in downtown Houston after he drifted in on the river in a tube and was found in his Speedo, sunburned, drunk, and dehydrated, while his speech pattern was misinterpreted by a police officer as incoherent babbling (in this same episode, he is seen painting a self - portrait in a highly accurate rendition of the style of Vincent van Gogh). All of the regular characters on the show understand most of what he says . In one such instance, when a furious Dale has become involved in a dangerous situation and Boomhauer begs him via a megaphone to surrender, Dale snaps "Boomhauer, if I ever heard anyone reading a script, that was it ." </P>
