Covid compliance inspector arrives in Big Nose Kate’s Saloon in Staten Island, NYC, to check to see if everyone has a vaccine card. But the bar manager ejects the inspector who cannot produce a card herself. File under K for Karma. Cross-file under M for Medicine, own, take.

For those who studied history in a university and not from movies, Big Nose Kate was the longtime companion of Doc Holliday, friend of Wyatt Earp and noted gunfighter and gambler. I’d be interested to see what would happen if an inspector came into a bar in Tombstone and demanded to see his or his girlfriend’s papers. Clever people know how far to push, and when to stop pushing. Many bureaucrats lack such knowledge.
