support your local sheriff
Because I was raised by my father, I was raised with a deep and abiding appreciation for 60s Western humor. And so, I come from a family where every last one of us can quote a good portion of Support Your Local Sheriff. It stars James Garner as a cowboy just passing through town, "on his way to Australia," who ends up becoming the town sheriff. Its definitely a must-watch for anyone who's never seen it.One of the great quotes of the movie is the very first line of the movie. The opening scene is a funeral and there are about 10 people out in the desert surrounding a grave. And one man gives this eulogy:
“We are gathered here today to consign the mortal remains of Millard Frymore... or whatever his name really was. I ain't really got a whole lot to say about Millard because he only rode amongst us two days ago, and was promptly struck down by whatever deadly disease it was struck him down. We can only hope that whatever deadly disease it was, it wasn't particularly contagious. And with that in mind, I suggest we all bow our heads in devout prayer.”
What follows is equally sacrilegious as gold is spotted by one of the mourners, and subsequently fought over, INSIDE poor Millard's grave.
You have to see it now, don't you?
