Hospital Scene at the End


What/why did Doc mean/say "Now that is funny" while looking at his feet?

reply

Because after all the gunfights he'd been in he was dying with his boots off. As opposed to the expression "dying with your boots on" meaning you died while fighting. It's also where the term boothill comes from; meaning that the graveyard is filled with guys who died while wearing their boots.






Liberals claim to love "others ideas", until they find out people actually have other ideas.

Look up the phrase, "Die with your boots on."
