    You know there really was another shooter on the grassy knoll, don't you?

    I could tell you about it, but then I'd have to shoot you.

    Actually the hit was by Mafiosos who were angered by Patton during the campaign in Sicily--seems he refused to pay protection money for US forces on the road to Palermo. Te actual hit ma was later taken out by a fellow imported from New Orleans, an uncle of Jack Ruby, IIRC.
