Unhappy about the hay and fed, the twin Donkeys..

in the middle of the entrance chute and refused to budge. 

It pretty much stopped 

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/15/2016:  13:54:08

all the Cowboys in their tracks, cussing and spitting 'backer juice.

Back at the OK corral

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2016:  19:05:54

everything was pretty much okay, that is, until the shooting started. 

At that point, things

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/15/2016:  20:26:26

we're moving into a deathly march towards Boot Hill.

If you die with your boots on

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/16/2016:  01:40:11

no one can see the holes in your socks.

But the smell of their feet

OM45GE - Posted - 10/16/2016:  10:47:47

might end more lives than the gunfight did. 

Nobody knows why

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/16/2016:  10:51:46

it was called "OK" , but some say it was short for "okee-dokee, now you die".

Wyatt got sick of the old dusty trail

OM45GE - Posted - 10/16/2016:  10:58:10

so he brought in some paving equipment and had the entire trail covered in asphalt. 

That caused unexpected problems with

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/17/2016:  06:32:21

the steel horseshoes and the long cattle drives.

Just then "Along Came Jones" and everything

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2016:  11:32:32

went to pieces, Sweet Sue was havin' fits until slow walkin', slow talkin' Jomes showed up.

The cattle didn't seem to mind

Forrest - Posted - 10/17/2016:  12:01:41

and were in fact, quite amused by it all.

The cattle were nonplussed because they 

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2016:  14:09:40

had never been able to figure out why nonplussed has two seemingly contradictory definitions.

They also never

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/17/2016:  14:35:45

understood why horses got shoes and they didn't.

The chuck wagon got infiltrated by woodchucks

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2016:  15:17:01

who was the only one who knew how much wood a woodchuck could chuck. 

He didn't know 

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/18/2016:  02:35:11

that the woodchucks were planning to chuck the chuck wagon..

As the story goes,,Rowdy Yates was

OM45GE - Posted - 10/18/2016:  02:48:56

planning to give his notice to Gil Favor because the chuck wagon food was so bad. 

He preferred 

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/18/2016:  04:11:28

eating at the town diner.

But Mr.Favor said that no cowboy on his cattle drive would ever

OM45GE - Posted - 10/18/2016:  07:00:23

be allowed into town unsupervised.

Rowdy figured he

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/18/2016:  11:28:42

and Wishbone would poison Gil's food to persuade him differently.

But Gil had a cast iron stomach

OM45GE - Posted - 10/18/2016:  13:25:03

and the poison actually seemed to invigorate him.

He spent the rest of the night

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/19/2016:  01:32:18

riding herd and singin Come a tye eye yippy yippy yae.

But when morning came he

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2016:  02:52:53

was found fast asleep behind the chuck wagon. 

All the beans were

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/19/2016:  04:21:12

gone and coffee had been made.

Do you think Mr. Favor would

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/19/2016:  06:28:54

take a job on the Cartwright ranch, where Hoss and the boys hog all the grub?

"Not a chance", he declared

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2016:  09:39:27

I think there's something funny going on at that place.

Why do four grown men

Forrest - Posted - 10/19/2016:  19:48:36

insist on sleeping in one tent and sharing a toothbrush. 

The next day, Gil

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2016:  03:09:21

decided to sleep in. 

He was

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/20/2016:  03:48:57

play cowboy like that?

I realize it's all for television but when did

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2016:  05:31:31

we let reality get in the way of entertainment?

Even reality TV is

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/20/2016:  12:04:44

a trump card over goofy old westerns.

Take my wife, for instance,

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2016:  12:38:20

PLEASE take my wife!

I don't want to

I have to pay

the piper, ever since I smashed his bag.

A bagless piper

OM45GE - Posted - 10/21/2016:  03:31:24

won't want anyone looking under his kilt. 

Bagpipers may be the only musicians

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/21/2016:  04:03:07

who are full of hot air.

This one piper never ever laid

OM45GE - Posted - 10/21/2016:  11:13:38

his pipes down, even when he was showering.

They made a peculiar gurgling sound that

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/21/2016:  15:32:25

woke the Scottish dead at the cemetery.

Loch Ness is a

While canoeing in Lock-ness Bertie and Betty..

OM45GE - Posted - 10/21/2016:  19:38:38

got into a bitter argument about who was taking the bow position. 

Betty hit Bertie with

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/22/2016:  04:39:17

the steel anchor.

Bertie looked at Betty and said,,

OM45GE - Posted - 10/22/2016:  05:08:31

"Did you say something?" which only infuriated Betty more. 

She said, 

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/22/2016:  07:27:15

I'm sick and tired of your hard-headed ways, you moron!

"I must have been temporarily insane

OM45GE - Posted - 10/22/2016:  09:45:10

to have married you in the first place, but the years since then have made the insanity permanent.

I'm going to trade you in for

Even lonely old widows

won't take pity on you. 

Stray dogs will
