Gunfighter Tips
In the days of the Wild West, there was a young cowboy who wanted more than
Anything to be the greatest gunfighter in the world. He practiced every minute
Of his spare time, but he knew that he wasn't yet first-rate and that there must
Be something he was doing wrong.
Sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, he recognized an elderly man standing
At the bar who -- in his day -- had the reputation of being the fastest gun in
The West. The young cowboy took a place next to the old-timer, bought him a
Drink and told him the story of his great ambition. "Do you think you could give
Me some tips?" he asked.
The old man looked him up and down and said, "Well, for one thing, you're
Wearing your gun too high. Tie the holster a little lower down on your leg."
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.
"Sure will," replied the old-timer.
The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out his 44 and shot the
Bow tie off the piano player.
"That's terrific!" said the young cowboy. "Got any more tips for me?"
"Yep," said the old man. "Cut a notch out of your holster where the hammer
Hits it. That'll give you a smoother draw."
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the younger man.
"You bet it will," said the old-timer.
The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun in a
Blur, then s hot a cuff link off the piano player.
"Wow!" exclaimed the cowboy. "I'm learnin' somethin' here. Got any more tips?"
The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. "See that axle
Grease over there? Coat your gun with it." The young man went over to the can
And smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun.
"No," said the old-timer, "I mean smear it all over the gun, handle and all."
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.
"No," said the old-timer, "but when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the piano,
he's gonna shove that gun up your ass, and it won't hurt as much."

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you.
