He practiced every&gt; &gt; minute of his spare time, but he knew that he&gt; wasn't yet first-rate and&gt; that&gt; &gt; there must be something he was doing wrong.&gt; &gt; Sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, he&gt; recognized an elderly man&gt; seated&gt; &gt; at the bar who had the reputation of being the&gt; fastest gun in the West in&gt; &gt; his day. The young cowboy took a seat next to the&gt; old-timer, bought him a&gt; &gt; drink, and told him the story of his great&gt; ambition.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;Do you think you could give me some tips?&quot; he&gt; asked.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; The old man looked him up and down and said,&gt; &quot;Well, for one thing, you're&gt; &gt; wearing your gun too high. Tie the holster a&gt; little lower down on your&gt; leg.&quot;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;Will that make me a better gunfighter?&quot; asked the&gt; young man.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;Sure will,&quot; said the old-timer.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; The young man did as he was told, stood up,&gt; whipped out his 44 and shot&gt; the&gt; &gt; bow tie off the piano player.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;That's terrific!&quot; said the cowboy. &quot;Got any more&gt; tips for me?&quot;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;Yep,&quot; said the old man. &quot;Cut a notch out of your&gt; holster where the hammer&gt;&gt; &gt; hits it. That'll give you a smoother draw.&quot;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;Will that make me a better gunfighter?&quot; asked the&gt; younger man.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;You bet it will,&quot; said the old-timer.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; The young man took out his knife, cut the notch,&gt; stood up, drew his gun in&gt;&gt; &gt; a blur, then shot a cufflink off the piano player.&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;Wow!&quot; said the cowboy. &quot;I'm learnin' somethin'&gt; here. Got any more tips?&quot;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of&gt; the saloon. &quot;See that&gt; &gt; axle grease over there? Coat your gun with it.&quot;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; The young man went over to the can and smeared&gt; some of the grease on the&gt; &gt; barrel of his gun.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;No,&quot; said the old-timer, &quot;I mean smear it all&gt; over the gun, handle and&gt; &gt; all.&quot;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;Will that make me a better gunfighter?&quot; asked the&gt; young man.&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;No,&quot; said the old-timer, &quot;but when Wyatt Earp&gt; gets done playin' the&gt; piano,&gt; &gt; he's going to shove that gun up your ass and it&gt; won't hurt as much.&quot;&gt; &gt;&gt;</blockquote>
