Re: [DL] Guts and fear, WAS saloon gals

[Jacob Myst <jacobmyst2001@yahoo.com>]

A vet is more apt at dealing with the little things
and lesser fears that would make a tin horn go weak at
the knees.  The fact of the matter is, if it can cause
a heart attack then it is one bad mo fo and is not
encountered that offten.  So it makes perfect sense
that they both can die from the same sight, it just
makes it funny to watch a vet die off without letting
off a shot.  :)
