Real Bravado

Three cowboys are sitting around the campfire out on the lonesome prairie; each with the bravado for which he is famous … a night of tall tales.

The cowboy from Montana says, "I must be the strongest, meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day, a bull got loose in the corral. It had gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the horns with my bare hands and castrated that sucker with my teeth."

The one from Colorado couldn't stand to be bested. That's nothing, "I was walking down the trail yesterday and a fifteen foot diamond-back rattler slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that bastard with my bare hands, bit it's head off and sucked the poison down in one gulp and I'm still here today."

The cowboy from Texas remained silent, slowly stirring the campfire coals with his pecker.
