[QUOTE="okievarmint, post: 2077068, member: 6719"] Festus has offered to buy Doc a beer with a silver dollar that he earned from shoeing horses. Doc: Why don't you take that money and invest it in something? Why don't you do that? Festus: Invest it in what? Doc: There's wonderful land values outside of Dodge. Now why don't you go out there someplace, look around, and buy yourself a lot? Festus: A lot of what? Doc: A lot! A lot of land! Festus: Well fiddle, I cain't afford to buy a lot of land. You probably could the way you've been a-bilking and a-gouging... Doc: Oh, hush up! I'm trying to help you, for heaven sakes. It doesn’t cost a whole lot to buy a little lot. Festus: What do ya mean it don't cost a whole lot to buy a little, or a whole lot to buy a lot, what do ya mean? Doc: Well, I mean... a little lot of land! Festus: But there ain't no such a thang. A little's a little, and a lot's a lot, there ain't no little lot, or lot of little, don't ya see? Now you want that beer or don't you? Doc: No I'm... I'm all worn out. Festus: ( Shouts to Doc as Doc walks away) If you change your mind me and Newly will be over at the Longbranch having a whole lot of little beers! [/QUOTE]
