The traditional thing to do was shoot the other guy.
Gentlemen did it in duels. Peasants did it in other ways.
Violence and death over a trampy wife strikes me as remarkably stupid. You want the girl? Choke on her, pal. That’s what I say.
My wife left a year ago for another guy who is a drugged out worthless bum. After 23 years of marriage she left. The scum she is with has threatened to kill her if she tries to leave. What can I do? In the old west I would have blown him away long ago. But I just gotta take it. She tried to come home but he threatened to kill both of us if she came back. The divorce is pending but it’s not what I want. But there’s nothing I can do.
I’d like to give him three things....a tall tree, a short rope and a skittish horse.
