Would That We Would Hear Olmert Say This

Not long before he died, in 1868, Kit Carson was shown a dime-novel cover featuring a picture of a dashing young Kit “slaying seven Indians with one hand, while he clasped a fainting maiden with the other.”

As the story goes, the old man stared at it for a while, fiddled with his spectacles a bit, and declared,
That there may have happened, but I ain’t got no recollection of it.”
