That dueling's a gentlemanly vice I hold; and wish that it had been my lot To live my life out in some favored spot -- Some country where it is considered nice To split a rival like a fish, or slice A husband like a spud, or with a shot Bring down a debtor doubled in a knot And ready to be put upon the ice.

It looks as if to challenge _me_ they came, Jauntily marching with brass bands and banners! --Xamba Q. Dar” |  Ambrose Bierce quotes (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)

But that beast did ensue and the hunter it threw O'er the top of a palm that adjacent grew; And he said as he flew: "It is well I withdrew Ere, losing my temper, I wickedly slew That really meritorious gnu." --Jarn Leffer” | Ambrose Bierce quotes (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)
