a couple of out takes from rip ford's memoirs i think are funny--all are quotes with some personal setups.
lt. nolan's negotiatons concerning a cannon.
don manuel trevino ordered nolan to halt.
"i don't recieve orders from you" nolan said
"halt or i shall fire on you with my cannon"
"fire and be blasted" nolan thundered "if you do i will take the confounded thing away from you"
the texians heard no more from the belligeriants.
o'quinn was a tonkawa war captain. ford ask him "o'quinn, you have eaten all sorts of people, what nationality do you think makes the best eating?"
he replys promply, giving the prefrence to "a big fat dutchman".
