A cowboy was out looking for a job one day.
 He stopped at a rancher’s house to ask the rancher for a job.


This rancher looks over the cowboy and thinks to himself,
 "Waal, he looks OK, ten gallon hat, denim shirt, denim pants --
 but he's wearing tennis shoes
. Guess I'll see what he can do."



The rancher tells the cowboy,
 "OK, let's see what you can do.
 Go rope that calf over there and brand it."



The cowboy has the calf branded before 
the little doggie knows what hit him. 
Well, the rancher is a bit impressed,
 but still not too sure,
 so he gives him another test.



"Now break that there bronc,"
 he points to a wild-looking stallion in a corral.
 The cowboy saddles and rides the bronc,
 wildest ride you've ever seen. 
After 5 minutes, the bronc is so tired he settles down
 and the cowboy hands the rancher a tame horse.



This rancher is VERY IMPRESSED!



"OK, son, you got the job.
 There's just one question I gotta ask you.
 You rope and ride real well,
 and you look mostly like a cowboy 
except for them dawgone tennis shoes. 
Why don't you wear cowboy boots instead of tennis shoes?"



The cowboy looks the rancher in the eye and says, 
"I would wear cowboy boots 
-- but then people would think I was a truck driver!"





Awareness Test






During the Revolutionary War,
 there was a small encampment of patriot soldiers the woods. 
Before they went to bed that night, 
they tied chickens (they were saving them for a special meal when needed) 
to the trees around the campground. 
Sure enough, some British loyalists were stumbling through the woods that night 
and frightened the chickens.
 Their screams and clucks woke the Patriots
 and they were able to defeat and capture the entire group of British loyalists.
A few nights later, the cook prepared the chickens for dinner.
 The soldiers said,
"This is really good. What do you call it?" 
The cook replied,
 "Chicken Catch a Tory."





If you have never failed
