Saloon Ethics

Don’t draw unless drawn upon. Sometimes people say and do stupid things
Overlook Most
Forgive Much
Correct only a little

Thin Skinned people end up taking offense. Taking offense will get you killed and worse break up a lot of good bar furniture and some really fine whiskey bottles. That’d be destroying the spirits.

If someone cheats you in a card game know who he is before you call him out on it.

Always tip the piano player. He might be playing at your funeral if you aren’t careful.

Watch your back, and you better have some good cowpokes you trust watch it for you. You cain’t never have too many friends.

Some fellows at the bar think they’re big shots when they get too much redeye in em, they want to be the center of attention and cause trouble by big talking. You could lose a good cowhand if you don’t help him off to the side and quiet him down.

Some blokes order a drink and if the barkeep don’t serve what they thought they wanted (“You call this whiskey, I’ve had better from a sewer”) they throw a fit become offended and never come back again; sometimes they leave in a box.

Let’s apply some good saloon ethics to the Church shall we?
