It was March 6, 1836. On that fateful day, Davy Crockett woke up and rose from his bunk on the main floor of the Alamo where 183 men waited to do battle. He then walked up to the observation post along the west wall of this fort. William B. Travis and Jim Bowie were already there, looking out over the top of the wall. These three great men gazed at the horde of over 7000 Mexicans moving steadily toward them.
With a puzzled look on his face, Crockett turned to Bowie and said, "Jim,are we having some landscaping done today?"

Having grown up in San Antonio, the original version I heard back in the 70s was "Are we pouring concrete today?"
