A Texan's only weapon of honour is of course, his fists. And they duel to the death.Originally Posted by Banquo's Ghost
A gentleman knows that pistols are just as permitted, and in such a case, I for one would not be keen to face a Texan on the field of honour.
My lily liver however, would be saved because the fellow would still be searching for the field of honor at the appointed hour...

Nonsense, sirrah. A gentlemen does not duel with fisticuffs and Texans are gentlemen. Boxing is a sport.
Those Mexican fellows at the Alamo were met with lead and cold steel. Maybe a barbeque grating or two, historians appear to be unclear on the latter.
