THERE WAS AN EPISODE OF DEATH VALLEY DAYS, WHERE RONALD REAGAN WAS BOTH THE SHOW'S HOST AND STAR CHARACTER.
RR PLAYED A NEW YORK CITY COP, WITH 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE, APPLYING FOR A JOB AS A TOWN MARSHAL OUT WEST, CIRCA 1880.THE PEOPLE IN THE TOWN HAD A MEETING AND MOST OF THEM LAUGHED AT RR WHEN THEY SAW HIS EASTERN SUIT, DERBY HAT AND HIS SMALL CALIBER PISTOL, IN A SHOULDER HOLSTER.
THEY TOLD HIM THAT NEW YORK WAS BACK EAST IN A CIVILIZED AREA OF THE COUNTRY AND THEY WERE OUT WEST, IN A RAW AND UNTAMED TERRITORY -- WAS HE EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THAT LEVEL OF LAWLESSNESS?
RR PAUSED, LOOKED AT ALL THE PEOPLE AND THEN TOLD THEM THAT, HE DID NOT KNOW HOW BAD THINGS WERE IN THIS TOWN, HOW GREAT THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES WERE IN THEIR TOWN -- BUT THAT HE HAD DONE VERY WELL IN NYC. ONE LONE VOICE CALLED OUT A QUESTION -- RR ANSWERED THE QUESTION AND HE WAS GIVEN THE JOB WITHOUT NEED FOR A VOTE -THEY JUST PINNED THE BADGE ON HIM AND THE MEETING WAS OVER WITHOUT ANY FURTHER CONVERSATION WHATSOEVER.

THE QUESTION -- "HOW BAD COULD CRIME BE IN NEW YORK CITY?"

RR -- "IN NEW YORK, WE CONSIDERED MANSLAUGHTER, A MISDEMEANOR."

IN THE MOVIE, "SOMETHING ABOUT MARY," CHRIS ELLIOT'S CHARACTER IS ASKED HOW HIS MARRIAGE IS GOING.

CHRIS SAID, "EVERYDAY IS BETTER THAN THE NEXT."
