Gunslinger and the Old Prospector
An old prospector walks his tired old mule into a western town one day. He'd been out in the desert for about six months without a drop of whiskey.
He walked up to the first saloon he came to 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 walked 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. Have you ever danced?"
The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance. I just never wanted to."
A crowd had gathered by then and the gunslinger said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna' dance now." And he started shooting at the old man's feet.
The old prospector was hopping around and everybody else was laughing.
When the gunslinger fired his last bullet, he holstered his gun and turned around to go back inside the saloon.
The old man reached up on the mule's pack and drew his shotgun. He pulled back both hammers, making a loud double-clicking sound. The gunslinger and the crowd all heard the sound and everything got very quiet.
Everyone watched as the gunslinger slowly turned back around and looked down both barrels of the shotgun.
The old man asked, "Did you ever kiss a mule square on the ass?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No. But I've always wanted to."
The lessons from this story are:
1. Don't waste ammunition.
2. Don't mess with old guys.
Isn't that funny? lol
