Hahaha...............didn't even see the end answer comin'................!
A
young cowboy sitting in a saloon one
Saturday night recognized an elderly man
standing at the bar who, in his day, had
been the fastest gun in the West.
The
cowboy took a place next to the old-timer,
bought him a drink and told him of his
great ambition to be a great shot...
‘Could
you give me some tips?' he asked.
The
old man said, 'Well, for one thing,
you're wearing your gun too high - tie
the holster a little lower down on your
leg.'
'Will
that make me a better gunfighter?'
'Sure
will '
the
young man did as he was told, stood up,
whipped out his .44 and shot the bow tie
off the piano player.
'That's
terrific!' said the cowboy. 'Got any
more tips?'
'Yep,'
said the old man. 'Cut a notch out of
your holster where the hammer hits it -
that’ll give you a smoother draw'
'Will
that make me a better gunfighter?' asked
the young man.
'You
bet it will,' said the old-timer.
The
young man took out his knife, cut the
notch, stood up, drew his gun in a blur,
and then shot a cufflink off the piano
player.
'Wow!'
exclaimed the cowboy 'I'm learnin'
somethin' here. Got any more tips?'
The
old man pointed to a large can in a
corner of the saloon. 'See that axle
grease over there? Coat your gun with
it.'
The
young man smeared some of the grease on
the barrel of his gun.
'No,'
said the old-timer, 'I mean smear it all
over the gun, handle and all..'
'Will
that make me a better gunfighter?' asked
the young man..
'No,'
said the old-timer, 'but when Wyatt Earp
gets done playing the piano, he's gonna
shove that gun up your ass, and it won't
hurt as much.
