Thanks for your insight, Phydias. According to this to this poll list , I just made 1000 drachmae on this “Do Athenians wore something under their chlamys” betting scheme.
I like this one, but you’ve always got to consider your backstop when using firearms. In this case it looks like horses and civilians, so that’s a nonstarter for a gunfight.
The showdown at the Hokey Pokey Corral became tense when Jed Washington asked “Is it left foot in then left foot, out or right foot in and right foot out?”
If your opponent has an itchy trigger finger, you should first offer him an antipruritic product which contains pramoxine. I would suggest Preparation H, because it can also be used to relieve his saddle sores.
You are all seeing a completely different picture posted than I have. Does anyone else have the painting by Stuart Davis of the man painting and Egyptian mural?
He was tired. It was a busy night last night at the bordello where the ladies insisted on playing with his gun, though at first he misunderstood. Now, however, it was too late that Jake remembered that his bullets were still in his holster belt and he never took the time to reload!
The horses in the background appear to be discussing the possibility of a recurrence of the event that caused the Waco Kid to throw down his guns and crawl into a whiskey bottle.

/// Clint’s hand hovered right next to his gun,
for the shootout with Bart had begun.
They’d agreed they would meet
on Laredo’s Main Street
at the rise of the bright Winter Sun.
/// He watched Bart cinch his holster strap tighter,
steady handed, a seasoned gunfighter.
And what now caught Clint’s eye—
the intense orange sky,
proved in winter the sun’s even brighter.
/// Bart moved slowly left, shuffling his feet,
backing toward the east end of the street.
This maneuver caused Clint
to face sunrise and squint.
He’d assumed his opponent would cheat.
/// Bart had shot the town’s man of the law.
That dead marshal was Clint’s girlfriend’s Paw.
A slight smile on his lips,
Clint watched Bart’s hat eclipse
the sun. Now he could see the man draw.
/// Clint’s one chance at avoiding disaster,
was to draw his gun now, even faster.
Two gunshots filled the air
of Laredo’s town square.
Western gunmen now had a new master.

Do not dessert me, oh my darlin’
On this hot and humid day.
I don’t want my tummy to so ache me
That my bullet goes astray.
.
The last time you made blueberry pancakes
The berries were past the date when due
They gave me chills, high fever,
And such diarrhea, too!
.
And that prickly pear cactus syrup
Made my hand all sticky so
I could not draw out from my holster
Fast enough to shoot straight at my foe.
.
Just brew a pot of strong coffee —
But please not mixed with chicory —
I don’t want to be out there a’prancin’
Because I have to pee.

It’s a scene to rival “High Noon”/
Outside the Dead Dog saloon../
An insult was spoken/
and an old friendship broken/
as a dolt confronts a buffoon..///
The source of this altercation?/
Nothing less than “the fate of this nation”,
an ad hominem crack/
about Joe Biden’s lack/
of solutions to rampant inflation..///
Now, somebody’s certain to die -/
and you know the reason why/
one’s a CNN man/
and one’s a Fox fan-/
and one called a lie “a lie”///
They rode 20 years together,/
through all manner of vile western weather:/
They stood back to back/
against Injun attack-/
but today they’re a-slappin’ leather..
