The eastern lady who was all ready to take
a horseback ride
said to the cowboy,
said to the cowboy,
--"Can you get me a nice
gentle pony?"
-- "Shore," said
the cowboy. "What kind of a saddle
do you want, English or western?"
--"What's the difference?" asked the
lady.
--"The western saddle has a horn
on it," said the cowboy.
--"If the traffic is so thick here in the mountains that I need a
horn on my saddle, I don't believe I want to ride."
What is the play on words ?
"Horn" has two meanings.
Can you find the
two meanings ?

The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible
while he was mending fences out on the range. Three weeks later, a donkey
walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn't believe
his eyes. He took the precious book out of the donkey's mouth, raised his eyes
heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!" "Not really,"
said the donkey. "Your name is written inside the cover."

If a cowboy rides into town on Friday and three
days later leaves on Friday, how does he do it?
If you can't find the answer, you'll have to return to the blog later....
