Where did you learn your American history? In some effette British school?
Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday most decidedly faced down the Clampetts at the OK
Corral, in the back, down by the cement pond. There they met Jed, Jethro and
Granny. That Granny had a mouth on her -- and because of that, she was the
first to go. They make their maker that day, being completely outgunned, having
come the party only with the long-barrelled shotguns they used when they went
'possum hunting.
