Yeah that Boss comment reminded me of a Highsmith story which Hi told holding his water glass full of Gin above which he just waved a bottle of tonic water or club soda just to get a waft or essence of carbonated water. Somehow his shop had been burglarized and guns stolen & dispersed around Memphis. Then either Hi or one of his hunting buddies stumbled upon a coloured fella squirrel hunting in the Memphis area w/ a Boss. An odd occurrence as I don't believe I've seen a squirrel hunter in the South w/ a Boss squirrel gun. Most, if not all, of the guns were recovered.

Cheers,
