that last one of JR's reminds me of something that Festus Hagan (Ken Curtis) said to Doc (Milburn Stone) when Doc asked him why he never learned how to read - - - - Festus replied:
"Supposin' I was to go to work and learn how to... to read writin'. Well, how'd I know that the feller that... that wrote the writin' was a writin' the writin' right? See it could be that he wrote the writin' all wrong. Here I'd be just a readin' wrong writin', don't ya see?"
