@koach: no worries
@ibrahim: while it's admittedly more involved than pedestrian truisms, such as 'a good dog is a good dog', i'm sure you'll agree that tools need to fit the job. personally, the only use i have for the 'a good dog is a good dog' platitude is to defuse what i call 'deliverance moments', e.g. some guy with a couple of blood hounds in the back of his pickup chats me up about my dogs at some gas station way down on i10. the conversation inevitably and invariably arrives at some variant of the 'you think your dogs track better than my hounds?" question while the fella fiddles with his suddenly not so concealed 1910. that's where you mumble some non-committal dribble and close with the equally tepid 'ya know, in the end a good daag 's a good daag.' that never fails to elicit a pause, a moronic grin, the repetition of said phrase accompanied by a slap on the shoulder, and, most importantly, happy partings.
@gustav: figured you wouldn't mind

bebo-
"pedestrian truism"
"platitude"
"deliverance moments"
"non-committal dribble"
"fella fiddles"
"equally tepid"
"moronic grin"
"good daag"
"inevitably and invariabily..."
You packed it in; In such a way - even the keen linquist's would cherish this
paragraph in there (anyplace, anywhere, anytime) speech in academia!?
Whew! who can refute, rebut, replace this syntactic constructional gem.

Bebo...1911...not 1910. I very much doubt anyone on I-10 carries a Belgian made gun, I just drove it yesterday and the day before...

HD & bebo - it sounds like it was and exciting
trip down I-10. It sounds like you were both
on the same vehicle!? By the way, what were
you listening to on the radio?!

hired ... true story. happened about nine years ago near tillmans' corner. guy un-holstered what i believed to be a 1910/22 (aka 1922) and proceeded to employ it as a scratching device for an over-sized swastika tattoo when he asked the question. the damn thing, pistol, that is, was pretty much all rust except for the occasional fresh beer cap mark and the handle was held in place with a liberal helping of man's most invaluable tool: duct tape. come to think of it, it could have been a star model p.

bebo - That was hilarious. My fadcat looked at me early
this morning with one eye open and slightly shifted herself
on the loveseat, as I was chuckling over your response.

Bebo, I have, thankfully, not experienced what you have and I drove I-10 both on Sat going West and Sunday going East. I did not stop anywhere on it. While I do not look for "encounters", I very rarely travel unarmed. I will tell you that I will not do that type of driving ever again.

bebo, I wanted to say that post was too difficult for me to follow, a English like Shakespeare's
