A very small, mousy man was hired as a bartender in the Old West. 
The saloon owner advised him
, “If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town,
 drop everything and run for your life.”
 The bartender worked for six months with no problems.
 Then one day a cowboy rushed in shouting
, “Big John’s a-comin’!”
 In his hurry to get out,
 he knocked the small bartender to the floor.
 Before the bartender could recover
 in came a giant of a man with a black, bushy beard.
 He rode in through the swinging doors
 on the back of a buffalo, 
using a rattlesnake for a whip
. The man tore the doors off of their hinges,
 knocked over tables, and slung the rattlesnake into the corner. 
“Gimme a drink,” he yelled
 as he split the bar in half with a pound of his massive fist.
 The bartender nervously pushed a bottle toward the man.
 He bit off the top of the glass bottle with his teeth,
 chugged the contents in one gulp and turned to leave. 
Realizing that the man wasn’t hurting anyone,
 the bartender asked if he’d like another drink.
 “Ain’t got no time,” the man roared
. “Big John’s a comin’ to town.”

  1. I have a major problem with this issue: Do I just post your web site address and let my subscribers see for yourself what a great job you do or should I just copy and paste most of it? It's a real dilemma but one I'm thrilled to have.
    I think this issue is far and away the best I've seen from you. Thanks for keeping me so well supplied.
    Hugs,
    toni
