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.

Thank God they didn't get Ellie Mae or Miss Jane.  However if Milburn
Drysdale was down in the corral, well he won't be missed.
