A man reaches a certain age where he doesn't...
want any drama. He doesn't want to fight anymore...and if forced to, he will not fight fair. He will not quit, and there are no weapons he will not use.
It's best to leave him alone with his coffee, gin, and cigars. Don't poke old men. They will hurt you. That is all. |

My daddy always told me never to pick a fight with an old man. If he doesn't think he can outfox or outrun you he might just shoot your ass.

"Boy, I've been casting a shadow on this earth since before you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye. I have learned from the most noble to the most vile. Trust me when I say, 'Don't f'ck with me."

Some are content to say Karma will get those who done them wrong.
I figure I am Karma. |

When I encounter cranky old people, I just whistle a little tune to lift my spirits.

That's from me; and I have said it.
The "twinkle in your daddy's eye" is old, old, old school. Heard that from my grandfather. The "casting a shadow on this earth" is probably from being influenced by Bad Bob's line to Roy Bean "I'll rid the ground of your shadow". Pure poetry. "Nobel and Vile" is all mine. I've been beaten fairly and unfairly. I've learned from each. |

Hub: I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!

Yeah, I’m too old to duke it out with some young punk. If
I can’t just walk away, and some idiot comes at me, I’ll just shoot his dumb ass. |

Those guns were set up so carefully to get a very light trigger pull and many times when letting the slide go home would slam fire. Holding the trigger back and letting the disconnector work stop slam firing. |
