An old prospector woman came into a bar out in a small town out west, dusting the dirt and sand off her pants and face. She was weary, and sat down for a glass of cool water. Her peace was disturbed when a young gunslinger walked up to her with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. "Have ya ever danced?" asked the gunslinger. "No sir. I don't dance. I've never really wanted too." "Well, yer about ta learn!" And the gun slinger started shooting at the old ladies feet. Not wanting her toes shot off, the old woman started hopping up and down, to the laughter of the crowd that had gathered around. When the gunslinger shot all his bullets, he went back to the bar to laugh it up. The woman went out to her mule and grabbed her long gun. the tell-tale "clicks" hushed the crowd as she cocked back the hammer. "Have ya ever licked a mule's butt?" Asked the old woman. "No ma'am. But I've always wanted to." Said the gunslinger. Lessons learned? Whiskey often makes you feel smarter than you really are. Don't waste ammunition. Don't underestimate old ladies. They didn't get old by bein' stupid.
