My Grandad, raised by his Uncle Tom-the local U.S. Marshall, grew up on the border of Texas & Oklahoma during the tail end of wild west days & most likely saw all kinds of things. (His first vehicle was a horse.) In all seriousness, I once heard my Grandad say, "Never leave the makin's fer your still lyin' around where jist inybody cud find 'em. Leads t' all kinna troubles."
