Cow Boy

[Who, me ?]

A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in a small town in West Texas. He

sits at the counter and notices an older cowboy with his arms folded staring

blankly at a bowl of chilli.

After about 15 minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy

bravely asks, "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 states "Nah, Go ahead"

Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place

and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom

and notices a rotten dead rat in the chili. The sight was shocking and he

immediately pukes up the chilli into the bowl.

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