Enjoy a good tale




 

 
This is good
 
 
 
 

An old prospector shuffled into the town of PrescottArizona leading
A tired old mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in
Town, to clear his parched throat. 

He walked up to the saloon 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, can you dance?"

The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said,
"No son, I don't 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, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started
Hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. 
Everybody standing around was laughing.. 
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger,
Still laughing,
Holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled
12 gauge 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 deafening.
The crowd watched
As the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes
Of those twin 12 gauge barrels.The barrels of the shotgun never wavered
In the old man's hands, as he quietly said;

"Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?"

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

There are a few lessons for all of us here: 

*Don't be arrogant. 
*Don't waste ammunition. 
*Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are. 
*Always make sure you know who is in control...
*And finally, Don't screw around with old folks; they didn't get old by being stupid....

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