  • Once upon a time Pat Mac Ryan enrolled in the army. How did it happen? Well, he was at a fort's saloon playing poker against some soldiers when he noticed they were cheating and, after proving it by grabbing the main cheater's leg and shaking him until his aces fell from his pockets, demanded his money back, the other cheaters attacked him and got their asses handed to them, the other soldiers in the saloon came to the rescue of their comrades so he smashed a chair on one of them and, finding it too light, started smashing tables on their heads, and when he ran out of tables he grabbed a pillar... And the saloon collapsed. At which point the fort's commander forced him to enroll to pay for the damage.
    • At the end of a series of misadventures he got through thanks to Tex and his pards' help, Pat was offered the chance to leave the army with his debt settled, with the commander also offering him to stay as a corporal. So he asks Permission to Speak Freely, and when given he grabs a chair and threatens to demolish the office if the commander tries to get him back in the army, before being dragged out by the pards.
  • On one occasion Tex and the pards were to go in a village controlled by a Small-Town Tyrant who knew they were coming, and everyone knew they'd have to pass from a certain hill pass. How did they deal with the expected ambush? Easy: they stopped a stagecoach, talked the conductor into helping them, and then took the stagecoach disguised with the clothes of the passengers. Specifically, Tex was wearing a poncho and a sombrero to pass himself as a random Mexican, Carson disguised himself as a pastor, Tiger Jack as traveling businessman, and Kit as a woman.
    • When the coach arrives at the pass the hick's men stops it, fall for the disguises, and decide to let it pass... After one of the bandits got a kiss from the beautiful woman on the coach. It ends in a shootout when Kit punches out the would-be kisser and loses the hat, with Tex and the others opening fire on the bandits while they're trying to process what's happening.
    • The outrage of the hick's woman when Tex and the pards arrive in town on a stagecoach, and the face of the hick when he learns of how they had pulled it.
  • The sheer luck Tex had the one time he had to fight alone against a band of 20 Apaches to defend a stagecoach... That just happened to carry a Mauser salesman that had, of course, a Gehwer 71/84 that boasted far superior range compared to the Apaches' Winchesters. Also, the Apaches going from arrogant to Stunned Silence when Tex drops their chieftain from far outside the range they thought Tex' gun had, then horror when Tex does it again, and then flying in terror when the third of their numbers falls.
