I heard Penny got there at a quarter to one, and was just in the nickle dime. Is that true?

Question

Maybe someone, a good writer, can tell us the background story about this.

Ah great. Now we will have a real reporter write the story behind the story. Thanks Sunshine.

Answer 1

Dodge City, Kansas
Circa 1873

"Penny Lane Is In My Ears and In My Eyes"

Penny Lane arrived on what SHOULD have been the noon stage. ( Do ALL stagecoaches arrive at this hour.....seems that way to me!!heheh) There had been trouble along the road.
Apparently a group of bad guys, the Wasteland Wall Eyes, (They got their name from their favorite fish) tried to hold them up. Penny KNEW she HAD to be in Dodge on time, to attend the 1 PM Cattleman's Assoc. meeting. Being the only female in the group, she needed time to freshen up before things got underway.
Therefore, when she realized they were slowing down due to an impending encounter with outlaws, she grabbed her trusty Winchester , stuck it out the wondow of the coach, and commenced firing off all the bullets in the chamber.
The leader of the gang, Pike Salmon, was able to board the coach and get inside with her. Penny kicked,screamed, scratched and spit....All futile attempts to ward off the advances of the criminal. She finally resorted to the derringer which had been concealed in her knee-high. boot. Mr. Salmon went belly-up in a matter of seconds.
Penny blew the GUNSMOKE out of her eyes and screamed to the driver to make haste!!

Arriving in Dodge, 45 minutes late, she ran into the hotel, dropped all her bags at the front desk and then skedaddled
to the meeting. The chairman rolled his eyes and pointed to his timepiece as she scrambled to the last remaining seat.
"Glad you could join us." he said in a sarcastic manner.
"Why.....For 50 cents I'd tell you what I just went through to get here !!....... "
"Hey!! If I give you a quarter would you shut up?!" he fired back.
Penny took out her pistol, threw a wooden nickel to the ceiling and shot it 4 times before it hit the floor. The chairman gulped, put his hands in the air and conceded the floor to her.
Twirling her side arm, she strolled to the dais and presented her view on the matter at hand.
All but three of the men paid strict attention...... The barber was busy showing photographs of every head he's had the pleasure to know....... The fireman, with an hourglass
in his pocket , kept gawking at a portrait of the queen....and the banker was still trying to dry off....It had rained that day and he never wore a mack in the pouring rain; VERY strange.

But the STRANGEST things of all were the four young men who had just walked in the back door. Everyone turned in their seats and stared at the bizzarre sight! The four fellows smiled impishly,shook their mop topped heads and started singing....With Cuban-heeled boots and unusual accents, they entertained the spellbound group. Penny started screaming and waving her hands in a crazy manner. Security was brought in.....Thus was born Beatlemania.....You heard it here, first, mate.
