A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe
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, you go ahead.'
Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to
his place 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 spews up the chili into the bowl.
The old cowboy quietly says, 'Yep, that's as far as I got, too.'
