Wisdom of a Cowboy

[Twisted Canuck]

One dry and dusty day a cowpoke made his monthly trip into town to pick up his necessaries.
After he hitched in front of the general store he stepped to the rear of his horse, lifted it's tail
and planted a smooch right where the sun don't shine.
Now folks there generally kept to themselves but the old boy on the porch rocker just couldn't keep shut.
"What in tarnation you do that fer?"
Cowboy replied "Chapped lips".
Old fella asked "Does it hep any?".
"Nope, but it keeps me from lickin' 'em!"

Dad always told me he used to use chickadee shat for his chapped lips.

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Meanness don't just happen overnight.

Don't corner something that you know is meaner than you.

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about, ain't never gonna happen anyway.

Don't judge folks by their relatives.

Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

Don't interfere with somethin' that ain’t bothering you none.

Timin' has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
