He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded, staring blankly at a full bowl of chowder. After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asked the old cowboy, "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. The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the chowder back into the bowl. The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too." At the end of a long working day, one cowboy says to another, "You know, that new bull nearly did me in today, Pardner." "Why, what happened?" asks the other cowboy. The first cowboy says, "Well, I was putting out the feed, when the bull came charging at me like a train from hell. He darn near got me!" "So, how'd you get away?" asks the second cowboy. The first cowboy replies, "The bull kept slipping. He slipped three times, and that gave me a chance to make it to the fence and jump over." "Man, that's scary! If it'd been me, I'd probably have crapped all over the place," says the second cowboy. The first cowboy says, "I did! What do you think that bull was slipping in?" Acowboy is riding along a trail in the old west and sees an Indian lying on his stomach with his ear to the ground. As he gets closer he hears the Indian saying to himself "Wagon...two gray horses... two passengers, man and woman... man driving" The cowboy goes "Wow! you can tell all that by just putting your ear to the ground?" The Indian replies "No. Wagon pass half hour ago, run me over." What do you call a frog who wants to be a cowboy? Hoppalong Cassidy. If you wear cowboy clothes are you ranch dressing?
