old-vaquero-saying

An old vaquero saying: "Marry a short girl and keep your guns on the top shelf. She still might get ya, but you'll hear her dragging the chair across the floor." Thoughts?

• Wise advice indeed, I'll be sure to take heed (says the young hand)~
• True, you'd better watch out (says the girl)~
• How rude to women! For every 100 men in the United States that kill their wives, only 75 women kill their husbands.~
• Too late, I married a tall woman; she can access all the shelves.~
• I trust her to do what's necessary and put me down if it comes to that.~
• What's a vaquero?~
