PSHAW!

We know from the historical records (name the movie I reference with that and win... nothing!) that cowboys, cowgirls, cowkids, etc., all positively DRIPPED guns in the old west!

And every one of them carted around a brace of nickel plated, gold filagreed Colt .45s in low-ride Mexican draw holsters!

And 75% of them had "Slim" in their name, while 40% of them had "Kid" in their name.

And an amazing 56.72% of them had BOTH Slim and Kid in their name!

Hum.... excuse me while I refresh this whisky... I'm drinking it, authentically, from a dirty glass!
