Cowboy Wisdom

There are two theories to arguin' with a woman; neither one works.

Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew, your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

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

After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

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

Never smack a man who's chewin' t'backer.

Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.

Never follow good whiskey with water, unless you're out of good whiskey.

Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else.

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

Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Really, Really Bad Traffic

* Freeway congestion is getting so bad, you can change a tire without losing your place in line.

* All across the country rush hour traffic is bumper to bumper. The next thing they'll be selling is anti-perspirant to put under your car's fenders.

* Traffic is always heavy in both directions. There are just as many people trying to get to whatever you're trying to get away from.

* You have mixed feelings when you see an opening in rush hour traffic. You're glad for the opening, but you wonder who died.

* It's useless to print roadmaps anymore. You just get on the highway and go wherever the other cars take you.

* The only way to get home from work on time is to take the day off...even then, you're cutting it close.

* Traffic is so bad nowadays, a pedestrian is someone in a hurry.

* You don't even have to brush your teeth anymore. Just get in rush hour traffic, smile, and let someone else's windshield wipers do all the work.

* You can sit on the highways forever. In fact, some places have little exit ramps where you can pull over and make a car payment.

* During rush hour the only way you can change lanes is to buy the car driving next to you.

* Remember the good old days when traffic used to be bumper to bumper? Now it's windshield wiper to windshield wiper.

* "Milkman. please could I have a loaf but not bread today."

* "Please cancel milk. I have nothing coming into the house but two sons on the dole."

* "Sorry not to have paid your bill before, but my wife had a baby and I've been carrying it around in my pocket for weeks."

* "Sorry about yesterdays note. I didn't mean one egg and a dozen pints, but the other way round."

* "When you leave my milk knock on my bedroom window and wake me because I want you 'to give me a hand to turn the mattress.

* "Please knock. My TV's broken down and I missed last nights Coronation Street. If you saw it, will you tell me what happened."

* "My daughter says she wants a milkshake. Do you do it before you deliver or do I have to shake the bottle."

* "Please send me a form for cheap milk, for I have a baby two months old and did not know about it until a neighbour told me."

* "Milk is needed for the baby. Father is unable to supply it."

* "From now on please leave two pints every other day and one pint on the days in between, except Wednesdays and Saturdays when I don't want any milk."

* "My back door is open. Please put milk in 'fridge, get money out of cup in drawer and leave change on kitchen table in pence, because we want to play bingo tonight."

* "Please leave no milk today. When I say today, I mean tomorrow, for I wrote this note yesterday."
