From the Alabama gene pool~
(Atmore, AL-AP) Jan. 11, 2007 - There may be no disputing James Brown's stature when it comes to his position as Godfather of Soul, but police say for two men in Alabama, there was apparently enough of an argument over James Brown's height to result in gunplay.
Police in Atmore say a man shot his friend when the two of them argued over Brown's height.
Authorities say Dan Gulley Junior shot David James Brooks Junior at a friend's house shortly after noon on Monday, once they got to fussing over how tall the 'Godfather of Soul' was.
Police say when the argument heated up, Gulley shot Brooks twice in the abdomen, after which Brooks went to his car, got a gun and fired at Gulley. He missed, then went to the police station to report the incident.
Gulley also went to the station to report the shooting.
The Mobile, Alabama Press-Register says officers didn't believe alcohol was a factor in the argument.
Brown died Christmas morning at an Atlanta hospital at age 73. It's unclear exactly how tall he was.

Hmmm..Are you suggesting as it appears that only Alabama creates the genes to allow such disagreements? Surely you need to include a few more states, specifically those that sit below the Mason-Dixon line? After all, everyone knows southern people only marry their cousins and dribble tobacco juice down their chins in church.. 0 -
That's a fine-enough argument in these parts.
Two guys here were duking it out over whether he favored his right or left nostril when snorting.0 -
You fellows would be amazed at what people in Alabama fight over. Being one of the best states to live in if you like guns, it seems we still have dueling.[;)][:D] 0 -
