[Dixielandjazz] The Fatal Glass of Beer

[G. William Oakley]

Hal:
You are correct.  He opens the door and says. "I think I'll go out and 
milk the elk."  He is then hit in the face with the snow and then 
opines, "It's not a fit night out for man nor beast."  I ran this film 
for years at my theater in Denver prior to the stage show and the lines 
are indelibly imprinted in my memory some twenty years later.
Best
Bill
