The Cowboy Without His Horse...
A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately,
the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he
finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen.
He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it
above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.
"Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?" he yelled with surprising
forcefulness.
No one answered.
"Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by
the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to
have to do what I dun in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had
another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post.
He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of
the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."
