THE OLD COOT


An old prospector named Ralph, shuffled into town leading an old tired mule.
Old Ralph headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat.


He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail.  As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.


The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?"

Ralph looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to..."


A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said,  "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet.


The old prospector Ralph- not wanting to get a toe blown off - started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet.  Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.


When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.


Old Ralph turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barrelled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.


The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.


The crowd stopped laughing immediately.


The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly.  The silence was almost deafening.

The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.


The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in Old Ralph's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever licked a mule's ass?"


The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir... but...I've always wanted to."


There are a few lessons for us all here:
     Never be arrogant.
     Don't waste ammunition.
     Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
     Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
     Don't mess with old people; they didn't get old by being stupid.

I just love a story with a happy ending, don't you?

BAD HAIR DAY IN LIBYA

So, someone please tell me what Tequila means in English.


DO YOU SUPPOSE.....?


Deacon True Sez -

“I heard on the radio the other day that light travels faster than sound. If that’s so, it would explain why some folks look pretty bright till they open their mouth!”

IT HAS COME TO THIS

Barak Obama needs someone to work his schedule and consult with the really important people as to when they have an opening. I could almost feel sorry for the man. He made it all the way to the Oval Office, and now he must get in line to be heard between blabbering senators and mighty quarterbacks.


Alas, these are evil times. Perhaps Obama needs to make a clean sweep-- give all those pee wee league Liberal Marxist pansies in his White House staff a pink slip, and bring in a couple of retired school librarians to help him set up a workable schedule before he announces where he will be and when he will make some great swelling speech.


Now, if the US Golf Open were looming up, I am sure Obama would have a virtually worshipful and humble attitude and keep completely out of sight and off the political circuit so he could watch it on TV. Obama needs to study the religious zeal of America better. Worship of our dear heavenly quarterback comes before all things, even  a President.

THE WEED IS JUST TOO POWERFUL

It seems to me that the weed in San Francisco is just too powerful for this lady.

She should get off of it and try to go on a milk and cookies fast.

RUN ON THE BANKS?????

In Europe there is a distinct possibility of a run on the banks. 


So, take a note from history seldom spoken:


1929-- Stock market crashed


1931-- Run on European banks


1933-- Run on US banks


1933-- Franklin D Roosevelt closed ALL US banks. Many banks opened later with all deposits on hand. But many Americans only got back one for ten. There was no FDIC. 


Today, the FDIC is nearly bankrupt. They can NOT cover more than a fraction of deposits nation wide.


If there is a run on the banks in Europe, you need to get at least a large percentage of any deposited money out of the bank and in hand AS CASH.


This is crazy talk to modern Americans, but it was just as crazy to people in 1933 before the banks closed.
