Elvis related to guns and knives like a kid playing the tough guy, If he didn't like a television program, he shot out the set and cracked up. Sometimes he used the glasses lined up at the bar in his suite for target practice. He thought that this was hilarious. Myrna, one of the Sweet Inspirations, said she will never forget a hair-raising spin around Memphis in his little yellow Pantera."He was a great driver but I knew he was trying to scare me," she told me. "He thought it was funny." When they finally schreeched to a stop in Graceland's driveway, Elvis completed the "shock treatment" by pulling out a gun and shooting the dashboard as he castigated the car for not running right. "He thought that was funny too," Myrna said.
