Cowboy Thinkin'

Do you know what a true cowboy is?

A cowboy is more than just wearing cowboy boots.

I mean, think about it.

Cowboys have to have a fair amount of common sense.

Cowboys have to be ready for any emergency, be used to making do with what's available, and be used to depending on no one but themselves and friends and family in the hard times!

A true cowboy has learned everything that is said by and promised by the government is best taken with a grain of salt.

A true Cowboy is not ashamed to pray, stand when the national anthem is played, take off their hat and place their hand over their heart or salute when the flag passes by!

Cowboys are folks you can trust to stand shoulder to shoulder with you in a firefight, folks that will gladly watch your back just as they would expect you to do for them, and folks that will help in any way they can when it's needed...never expecting anything in return!

And Cowboys have more experience with horseshit than most, so they can spot it a mile away!

That's just the Cowboy way.

One of the most important things a Cowboy instinctively knows is that a sense of humor is of vital importance with things the way they are!

So, in keeping with that thought, I figured I'd leave you with a little bit of Cowboy humor... so here's a few Cowboy truisms!

"Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction."

"A bronc rider should be light in the head and heavy in the seat."

"Broke is what happens when a cowboy lets his yearnin's get ahead of his earnin's."

"Any cowboy can carry a tune. The trouble comes when he tries to unload it."

"When in doubt, let your horse do the thinkin'."

"When a cowboy's too old to set a bad example, he hands out good advice."

"Worry is like a rockin' horse. It's something to do that don't get you nowhere."

"Never squat with your spurs on."

"Poor is having to sell the horse to buy the saddle."
