Cowboy rules for:
Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Utah,
Idaho,
and the rest of the Wild West are as follows:
1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.
3. Let's get this straight: it's called a 'gravel road.' I
drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive,
you're gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle. That's why they smell like cattle. They
smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-10 & I-40 go east
and west, I-17 & I-15 goes north and south. Pick one and go.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000
Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It's called being
friendly. Try to understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of
geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin' in during the hunts, we
WILL shoot it outa your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your
ear at the time.
8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want
sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a
religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for women. That's applied to all women,
regardless of age.
11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order
steak, or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham
and turkey.
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes:
meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and
ketchup! Oh, yeah . . We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that
stuff you eat IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!
13. You bring 'Coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and
served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute,
know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
14. College and High School Football is as important here as
the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang
site more fun to watch.
15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards
- it spooks the fish.
16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap
ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see
your boxers! Refer back to #1!
A true Westerner will send this to at least 10 others and a
few new friends that probably won't get it, but we're friendly so we share
in hopes you can begin to understand what a real life is all about!!!

Happiness does not consist in pastimes and amusements but in virtuous activities.
Aristotle
When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Harold R. McAlindon
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life's a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take it lightly, or bear its troubles patiently.
Palladas
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
Benjamin Franklin
May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness, let us not forget it, for one of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have.
- Richard L. Evans
"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."
-
Ludwig van Beethoven
"Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure."
-
George Edward Woodberry
"You create your opportunities by asking for them."
