I am pretty sure that is the first time I have heard I guy with a 10 gallon hat on the back of a horse quote Oscar Wilde. And I have been to a number of cowboy poetry competitions. Kudos to you, sir!
Also thanks. I know the expression well, but had not known it was from OW...and I chuckled at the ending.
Makes me think of another quote:
"I resemble that remark!"
