COWBOY'S CHILI
>
> A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Prescott, AZ. He sits at
> the counter
> and
> notices an old cowboy with his arms folded staring blankly at a
> full bowl of
> chili. After
> fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young
> cowboy bravely
> asks the old
> cowpoke, "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
> at the
> counter and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down
> to the
> bottom and
> notices a dead mouse in the chili. The sight was shocking and he
> immediately
> pukes up
> the chili into the bowl.
>
> The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."
