Bowl Of Chili
Soup du Jour in Oklahoma...
A young cowboy walks into a
seedy cafe in Western Oklahoma. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy
with his arms folded staring blankly at a full bowl of chili.
After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy
bravely asks the old cowpoke, “If
you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?”
The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best
Okie manner says, “Nah,
go ahead.”
Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and
starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and
notices a dead mouse in the chili. The sight was shocking and he immediately
barfs up the chili into the bowl.
The old cowboy quietly says, “Yep,
that's as far as I got, too.”
