OT Dr. Strangelove
I have just watched Dr. Strangelove (again) and have always wondered if
the Slim Pickens quote "I will get them doors open if it harelips everybody on Bear Creek!" has any meaning other than the dialog. Any ideas? Regards, Jerry |

Any ideas? Variations of this expression were common in Texas when I was growing up. "I'm gonna go fishing Saturday if it harelips every cow in King County!" -- Dan C172RG at BFM |
