Cowboy rules for:
Arizona, California,Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming,Montana, Utah, Nebraska, 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 a hunt, we WILL shoot it outta 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, o...Expand for more
r 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 ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!
WE ALL KNOW FROM HIGH SCHOOL ON. SOME OF US KNOW IN JUNIOR HIGH. WE FEEL IT, IT BURNS DEEP WITHIN US. THERE IS SOMEONE HERE FOR US. GOD HAS PLACED 1 PERSON ON EARTH FOR US. ONLY ONE. WE WILL MEET,DATE AND EVEN MARRY SOMEONE ELSE. WE MAY LIVE HAPPILY FOR YEARS OR MAYBE BREAKUP OR DIVORCE. WE MAY GO ALL THRU LIFE WITH A PERSON. HAVE CHILDREN WITH THEM, EVEN GROW OLD WITH THEM. BUT SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF OUR HEARTS, THAT LITTLE PANG IS STILL THERE. THAT LITTLE NAGGING VOICE TELLING YOU, THIS IS STILL NOT THE ONE. YOU MAY NEVER MEET YOUR âSOULMATEâ OR YOU MAY MEET THEM WHEN YOUâRE 80 YRS. OLD.
MAYBE ONE DAY, WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT, YOU WILL SEE YOUR SOUL MATE. IT MAY BE SOMEONE YOU KNEW OR LOVED, IT MAY BE A COMPLETE STRANGER BUT SOMETHING STIRS IN YOUR SOUL. ITâS NOT LUST, ITâS A LONGING YOUâVE NEVER FELT BEFORE. A FEELING YOU CANâT EXPLAIN OR GET RID OF. THATS THAT LITTLE VOICE FROM YOUR YOUTH TELLING YOU, ITâS YOUR SOULMATE.
SADLY MANY OF US WILL NEVER KNOW OUR SOULMATES. WE DIDNâT LOOK HARD ENOUGH OR WE WERE TOO IMMATURE TO RECOGNIZE THEM WHEN THEY WERE RIGHT BEFORE US. WE WILL DIE NEVER FEELING THAT âPERFECTâ LOVE THAT WAS INTENDED FOR US FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
TO THOSE WHO HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND THEIR SOULMATES, BE HAPPY. WHETHER YOUR OLD OR YOUNG, RICH OR POOR, YOU HAVE ALL THE HAPPINESS THIS WORLD HAS TO OFFER. LOVE EACH OTHER SO HARD, IT WILL FOLLOW YOU ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN..
