Long-Tall Tom:  So Hillbilly, you old pipe-rustler.  Have you heard the one about the Corsican Dude who tried to face down "Eagle-eyed" Mimmo, the Quick-Cut Kid?

Hillbilly Hiro:  Naw, Long-tall, I cain't say as I have.  I reckon "Eagle-eyed" gave it to him good.

Long-Tall Tom:  You ain't jes' whistling Sayonara, there, Hillbilly.  Corsican Dude thought he was clean as a whistle but The Quick-Cut Kid spotted his flaws from six hundred yards off.  Kid made short work of it - cut the Dude down to size even before the Corsican had time to dunk himself in water and show off his grain.

Hillbilly Hiro:  Yep, that sure sounds like "Eagle-eyed," all right.

Long-Tall:  Corsican Dude thought he had the makings for a large straight-grain Dublin or even a Volcano, but by the time "Eagle-eyed"  Quick-Cut finished with him, he be lucky to wind up as a rusticated Cutty!  Yee-haw!

Hillbilly Hiro:  That's a good-one, Long-Tall.  In all my years of briar-wrangling, I ain't never see'd a saw-slinger like "Eagle-eyed" for takin' the sap out of an uppity ebouchon.

Long-Tall:  Yeah, yeah.  Well, of course, they ain't a-growin' Corsican briar the way they used to ...

Hillbilly Hiro:  Naw, naw ... you're right as rain there, Long-tall ...

Long-Tall:  ... and we need a lot more slingers like The Quick-Cut Kid to separate the men from the boys, the plateau from the hobby-cut.

Hillbilly Hiro:  Yep.  'Tain't so easy to ride the Briar Range no more, Long-Tall, that's for sure!  Yee-haw!
