####################################################################
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
