Holliday started out as a dentist in Georgia, but moved west. In Dallas, he won three awards for dentistry at a county fair, which hopefully can't happen anymore. Later he became a gambler and buddied up with Wyatt Earp, joining him for the famous gunfight at the OK Corral.

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one and all, and to Doc Holliday, a tuberculosis sufferer and badass who also possessed a serious wit.
