Great show yesterday kid. A great show which made the wizened denizens of the Betty Boop Old Folks' home form an impromptu conga line. Poor old souls. Age has indeed withered them and the years condemned. Everytime they put their right foot in, they had to have an injection of steroids before they could shake it all about. Poor old dears. Only for the Monday and Wednesday strip poker nights they would have nothing left to live for.
Tommy my cat, adjusted his paisley-patterned cowboy chaps and said, "Did you see them? Did you see Dana lead out the Magnificent Seven in Dublin? They were all there," said Tommy. "Dana, Gay Mitchell, Martin McGuinness and Senator Steven Norris bringing up the rear. Gay Mitchell took off his hat, wiped his brow and said, "I don't like it. It's too doggone quiet out there." No sooner were the words out of his mouth than Martin McGuinness threw back his head and sang, "The Town I Loved So Well."
"That's not fair," screamed Dana, "I'm from Derry too, so I am!"
"Dana darling," gushed Steven Norris, easing himself up on the saddle. "Do us all the exquisite honour, my dear, of singing that little ditty so near to my heart "All Kinds Of Everything."
That was when the Mexicans appeared! It fell to poor Steven Norris to make the mistake of offering the Mexicans-badges! Well, you know what happened next. Why do Mexicans get so angry when they hear the word-badges?
"BADGES??? We don't want your feelthy-badges!"
"I say old chap," began Steven Norris, but Martin McGuinness roared out, "RAWHIDE!!! Head for the hills!"
"Let the Gringos go!" yelled a swarthy Mexican. "Seven rode away, but only one will return".
Then the Mexicans lay over their horses and laughed for 39 minutes. Once upon a time in the West, in the days of John Huston and John Ford, when one Mexican laughed-all Mexicans laughed. Then, along came football and the Mexican laugh, turned into the Mexican wave! Meanwhile, the magnificent Seven are camped at Big Fork, fearing tomorrow will bring, blazing saddles.
You couldn't make it up!!!
