Siesmologists at the New Mexico State University Geology Department have determined that the late Sheriff Pat Garrett has turned over in his grave. The sheriff, most famous for shooting Billy the Kid, was killed himself outside of Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1908.
The reason for the corpse turning has been traced by the University's history department to the recent announcement by Governor Bill Richardson that he wants to pardon William Bonney (and several of his aliases) for the many murders he committed (including the murder of two lawmen during a prison escape).
Ground penetrating radar has determined that Garrett's pants are now pulled down and his ass is facing Sante Fe, giving the Governor a full moon as part of his opinion.
No word yet if anyone plans to pardon Governor Richardson for bankrupting his state.
