A Cowboy Taught Everyone A Lesson Until The Bartender Learned The Whole Truth

When most of us think about true cowboys, we think about rough and tough individuals who can handle anything that comes their way. That is true in some cases, and they are some of the tougher people we may meet.

Perhaps that is why we have that instant perception when we hear the following joke. It involves a cowboy that is being put in a very bad situation and we can only imagine how much damage he could do.

In the end, he gets something unexpected and we get something unexpected with the conclusion that leaves us laughing.

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink.

Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was.

When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen.

He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking, and fired a shot into the ceiling.

“Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!” he yelled with surprising forcefulness.

No one answered.

“Alright, I’m gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain’t back outside by the time I finish, I’m gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don’t like to have to do what I dun in Texas!”

Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post. He saddled up and started to ride out of town.

The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, “Say partner, before you go… what happened in Texas?”

The cowboy turned back and said, “I had to walk home.”
