Who Said That? 8

[Capt Hamp Cox]

Who Said That?  “I think it is in our interest to punish the first insult; because an insult unpunished is the parent of many others.”

Note:  This quote is not from a movie, and was made somewhat prior to the “Old West” period, but I kinda like it anyway.

'Don't have a clue, BUT I can imagine Gen'l Santa Ana saying such a thing while facing the Alamo. :wink:

[Capt Hamp Cox]

Shorty,

Santa Anna probably wished he'd said that, but it wasn't him.  Want to give it another shot?  It was said by a famous American.

Dave(rightagain)inthebush,

Nice goin'.  Right again.

You gotta unnerstand that " Oh hummm... Careful is a naked man climbin an electric fence! only applies to retired railroad men with reputations of bein' "good conductors".

Williamlayton:  The older you get the smarter you should get.(Supposed to!) Wish I could trade some of that knowledge for better legs and back so I climb 3,600 feet to get a ram!  :coffee:

Daveinthebush,

Probably not "trophy" class for anyone but me, but it was full curl, and one of my most memorable hunts.  Alaska Range 1972.  You'll note I was much younger (with better legs and back) and better looking then.

I am going to at least get up for some goats out on PW sound.  I have seen a few and have my own boat to get there.  I just need to loose the twenty pounds that I gained when I bought a snow blower instead of shoveling the 300 food driveway.
