If movies have taught me anything its that having a chair broken over your head in an old west saloon was not only not incapacitating but it was great fun, and after being punched in the face and gut multiple times your eventually be thrown through a window where upon you’d stand up dust yourself down and walk away remarking on what a great fight it had been and how you hoped to have another one some time soon.

Heheh, very funny, and true. Physical violence was completely over the top in westerns, and would destroy real life people, but their characters pretty much took it as a lark. I wonder if I'm the only one who wondered how those saloon keepers could ever make a buck when their customers destroyed the place every weekend.
