  1. Swords and bare breasts? A good mud wrestling match would be better. I like the old West method better – shoot them in the back. Main street at high noon was pretty much a fiction.

  2. And now we have crappy protests instead, with no obvious victim nor accused abuser.

    Or crappy wars, with no apparent point nor possible resolution.

    Western countries are all broke and failed, so no wonder there is little public support.

    “frankly, my dear, I do not give a dam.

  3. It’s totally unfair for a large breasted woman. She just gets a little slice, and she’s bleeding to death.
    Definitely needs some supervising.

    Transgenders would win all the disputes.

  4. Andrew Jackson, not only participated in a duel and killed his opponent; he did so by cheating. He was shot in the chest and attempted to fire (but misfired). According to the rules of dueling (which are intricate)…under Code Duello, he was disallowed a second shot. However, he re-cocked, fired and killed his opponent.

    The duel was due to an insult to Jackson’s wife. Apparently, she was married, but left her husband to live with Jackson. It was assumed that a divorce was initiated. However, apparently not. So, when Jackson married his wife, Rachel, she was already married. Dickenson (Jackson’s dueling opponent) mentioned that to Jackson, which Jackson didn’t take very well.

    Did I mention that Andrew Jackson is widely regarded as a horse’s ass.

  5. Dueling… because we need to put the honesty back into auto repairs.

    You’ll either have to be a good, honest mechanic or a good shot if you expect to stay in business for long.

  6. I think the most famous (at least that I’m aware of) was sitting Vice President, Aaron Burr and former Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. That’s back when being a politician had consequences. Burr’s political career was essentially ended that day. Hamilton’s death pretty much ended the Federalist Party.

    Although, a duel between Kamala Harris and Janet Yellen wouldn’t be disagreeable.

    1. Most men do not even want to marry them anymore: too frightening and self-absorbed.

      Mind you, a lot of men live without growing up in the basements of single women, who are failed wives and have substitute sons for the missing husband, as no one else wants them. No wonder no marriages happen.

  8. I’ve been just fine with women in public without shirts ever since the unionised Regina Sk. police went on strike when I was 16 years old 1.July.1976 It was one of the days that Victoria Park fills with bands and ice cream vendors, and when the police are on strike there are bare breasted women in the park, and the North Albert Street A&W gets trashed by 200 and there are B&E’s everywhere, because well Regina is Regina. That’s why.

    The bare breasted girls didn’t bother 16 years old me, not even a bit.

    I’d link to the Regina Police Service web page which covers this, but it’s garbage, and I can’t copy paste this story or anything from it, and you’d have to scroll though 80 years of their history instead of being able to just click on a year.
    Unionised website, obviously.

    Also, I don’t have a problem with dueling, by however method is agreed upon prior to the duel.

    1. marc: “Also, I don’t have a problem with dueling, by however method is agreed upon prior to the duel.”

      Farts… at dawn… 3 paces.

      (H.R. stays up all night eating beans, brie, and brussels sprouts washed down with Guinness Stout. What? That’s cheating you say? Note: H.R.’s Second has begged off. Urgent business 2 counties over.)

      1. I’d counter that with the Canadian Legion’s traditional muzzle-loader mix: two quarts of Labbat’s 50 to wash down a plate of pickled eggs and pickled cheese.

  9. Ah Dueling, those were the days. Otherwise known as trial by combat. Now the aggreived take their disagreements before a judge and if you get the right judge you can take the supposed offender to the cleaners for $148 million. What can be more rewarding than bleeding your opponent to death financially. We’ve come a long way!

  10. Duelling. In my time it was known as “I’ll see you in the smoking area after school, smartass”. Back when words had meaning and you lived and died by them or so it seemed at the time.
    Most today today haven’t been punched in the face.
    That’s the problem.
    Maybe I’m reading too much into this.
    Oh well, I’ll get over it.

    1. Shoot your opponents trigger finger?
      If lesson not learned, the rest of them???
      The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix is absolutely hilarious!

      If you force someone shooting at you to shoot themselves, is it suicide?
      Pondering questions that are seeking answers to… hmmm…
