      I like cowboy stories


      A young cowboy walks into the town cafe. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded, staring blankly at a full bowl of chili.

      After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asked the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?" The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, go ahead."

      Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning in it with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chili. The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the chili into the bowl.

      The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."

      Old Man And The Beaver

      An 86-year-old man went to his doctor
      for his quarterly check-up...

      The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the
      86-year-old said ,'Things are great
      and I've never felt better.'

      I now have a 20 year-old bride
      who is pregnant with my child.

      "So what do you think about that Doc ?"




      The doctor considered his question for a minute
      and then began to tell a story.

      "I have an older friend , much like you, who is an avid
      Hunter and never misses a season."


      One day he was setting off to go hunting.

      In a bit of a hurry , he accidentally picked up his
      walking cane instead of his gun."

      "As he neared a lake , he came across a very large male
      beaver sitting at the water's edge..



      He realized he'd left his gun at home and so he couldn't
      Shoot the magnificent creature.

      Out of habit he raised his cane , aimed it at the animal
      as if it were his favorite hunting rifle and went 'bang, bang'."

      "Miraculously , two shots rang out and the
      beaver fell over dead.


      Now, what do you think of that ?" asked the doctor.

      The 86-year-old said ,
      "Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else
      pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."

      The doctor replied , "My point exactly."
