A rough and tough cowboy finishes his drink at
a bar and gets up to leave. A minute later, he comes
back in saying with a mean look in his eye “I’m going
to sit down and have one more drink, and if my horse
isn’t back where I left it, I’m gonna have to do what
I done in Texas, And I really don’t wanna have to
do what I done back in Texas!”
True to his word, he sits down, orders another drink,
sits in the [silent] bar and finishes his drink. He then
gets up and walks outside and sure enough, his horse
is back tied up where he left it. As he’s just about to
ride off, one of the other patrons timidly asks, “mister?
What was it you had to do in Texas?” The cowboy
gets a far off look in his eyes and says sadly, “I had to walk home.”
