All right, so I don't speak 50's jive very well. Let's try it in more standard terms.

His No. 1= The main lady in his life.

The unnumbered one= A lady he saw, had to have, and got caught with by his number 1.

Was about to give him one= Hit him up the side of the head or do some knife induced pruning to sensitive parts, or shoot him so many times he would look like swiss cheese.

Depends on what you mean by "mountainous region". If you mean "on a mountain", then you could be right (but then, there's also not going to be any wood to make a fire, so you are going to rely on a gas stove or butane heater). But there's a considerable amount of trees, soil, etc. along the roadside when I drive from Calgary to Golden, and that's going right through the Canadian Rockies. So I'd consider that "a mountainous region".

In the Appalachians, you can be on the top of a mountain and surrounded by trees (which obviously need soil to grow in).

True, There are many (More or Less) Soiled Regions within Mountainous Areas too! Especially, but Not Strictly Limited to, -Gentler Slopes, Areas Between Individual Peaks, and Gunuine, (or Areas "Passing as"), -Bottomlands!

In These Areas, you Often Will have Soil to Work With! Thank God and Grayhound!

True also, -in the Rocky, Soilless Areas, -You Aren't so Likely to have Major or Sizeable Plant Life. Mere High Altitude Often Accounts for This as Well, though!

So as you've said, -There you Not Only Don't have Soil with which to Dig a Firepit, or any Hole. But you'll Often Not have Readily Accessable Firewood for such Purpose either!

That Said and True, -It's Nevertheless Surprising on How Little Soil!, Major Plant Cover can Grow On!

I Recall Seeing an Excavated Western Appalachian Hillside! Nearly up to the Surface, -was Solid, Bare Rock! On the Excavation's Face. But Just Above that!, -on the Non-Excavated Surface, -Were as Much Trees and Woodcover!, -as you'd See Anywhere Else in our Western PA Appalachians! Yes there was a Woods Floor Soil Cover! But it and any Subsoil were Quite Thin! Yet these Trees Made the Best and Most of it! Seemingly None the Worse for any such "Wear"! I Marvelled on How They Could Actually Grow!, -and so Perfectly Well! On so Much Rock! And so Precious Little Soil! Obviously Shallow Rooted! Yet Not Weak Rooted!

And on Long Abandoned Buildings and Plants (Mfg. I Mean!) Around my Area, -One Commonly Sees Grasses, Weeds, *Shrubs*, and *Trees*!, -Growing ON the Roof or Building! Some have been there so Long!, -that they've Become Rather Sizeable Trees! "Happily" Making the Most of What Little "Soil" there is! Dirt and Dust Gets Blown About and Deposited, -Cracks in Crumbling Stone or Masonry Function as a "Soil"!, -Corroded Old Asphalt Shingles Serve the Same Purpose!, -Even Rusty Cracks in an Old Metal Building!, -might so Fill the Bill! I've Seen Those a Plenty Too! Including Nearly Full Grown Trees on Such! So it's Really Something to Behold! Give Plants an Inch!, (Or Just a Little "Soil"!), -And Watch Them Take a Mile!

This also would somewhat Reinforce your Point. In that you Might Often Find Firewood while out in the Mountains, in even some Pretty Rocky!, Little Soiled!, of Areas! But Many Rocky Areas are again Largely to Entirely, Devoid of either Plant Life or Soils!

So Yes!, -There are some More or Less Soiled Areas, -in Many a Mountainous Area or Range! (As Well as Many Not!). Here you may Well Often have Enough Soil to Work With, -Toward Making a Concealed Fire Pit. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]aardwolfe[/email]

Sorry for the confusion, guys,

I thought somebody misunderstood/missed the fact that my original comment was rather heavy on the jest, my bad.

If you think the military is the only place you might become or meet the enemy, you haven't ever had an old style Latin girl friend. I would rather be overmatched by a Filipino knifemaster than a Latin lover angry at me with a blade in her hand. The Filipino will at least be kind enough to finish you off quickly, while the damage a cheated on No. 1 will do will give you a higher voice, loss of body hair, a softer body, and a much mellower disposition.
