Before my dad passed away he attended one of my boxing matches. I told him he could be in the corner as I was probably having my last fight. Coach handed him Vaseline and said "put it on him".
My dad reeled back and flung the Vaseline jar back at the coach and said " is they fightin' or f_kin' ?"
He did spend a lot of time behind bars, so I understand the confusion.

If it's in .44, it's an Army. The Navy's were made in .36 caliber. Got one.
I have a rifle made on a .44 caliber Remington design. It's a hoot to shoot, it can be used during muzzle loading deer season, but ya gotta remember NOT to put your hand in front of the cylinder while firing. The flash gap with resulting burn will remind you quickly, and a chain fire will remove digits. :)
I had to stop and think a while on that one... since I have my 1851 Navy .44 pistol on my lap at the moment.

I did some checking, and we are both in the same world on this. 🤔 :) Navy revolvers were only made in .36 caliber back in 1851. Yup. Nevertheless, you can now buy a brand new one -- in .44 caliber. TINS -- I gots one:

Wait for it...

God damned Yankee!

Reminds me of an old joke. A guy is driving his truck in North (by God) Carolina. He's about to cross a bridge when he sees a young man standing on the edge, getting ready to jump. He stops his truck and yells, "Don't do it! I know things seem bad now, but just think of your mom and dad!"
Young dude says, "I grew up in an orphanage, I never knew my mother and father."
"Well, think of your wife and kids!"
"Never married, and I have no kids."
"Well, think of Robert E. Lee!"
"Who's Robert E. Lee?"
"Jump, ya damned Yankee!"

Sorry Walt. I thought you probably had an original that your dad bought you brand new when you graduated college. :)

Now ya triggered me. My Family has always been military. I received the most touching wedding present from my Unca Harry. It was on his hip at Omaha Beach on D-Day.

He got sorta blowed up later on by a Kraut 88. He got a stipend from the Gummint for back injury: $15/mo. But he got all better... Big, tall, with John Wayne eyes. Taught me how to shoot straight pool.
