Now here's a real Wyoming cowboy story.....


> A cowboy, who just moved to Wyoming from Texas , walks into a bar and

> orders

> three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of

> each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and

> orders

> three more.

> The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, "You know, a mug goes flat

> after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time."

> The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona

> ,

> the other is in Colorado . When we all left our home in Texas , we

> promised

> that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So

> I'm

> drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself."

> The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.

> The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way.

> He

> orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.

> One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take

> notice

> and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the

> bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to

> offer my condolences on your loss."

> The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his

> eyes

> and he laughs.

> "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife and

> I

> joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking."

> "Hasn't affected my brothers though."
