Wonder what would happen if you stepped on his lines? I am not going to find out.

As stated in the history books, it was an accident.  The pistols of the period were not that accurate and I was sober.  Rifles were more accurate and used more often.  I have the book the wife bought me when I was much younger and before the beard we looked like twins.  Have fun,  DOC Holliday

I'm glad you weren't offended, DOC. When that tidbit popped into my inbox this morning, D>K I couldn't resist.

Everytime I've seen him he looks like the Doc Holliday I know.  Never met the other guy.
