Getting a Gal…

A lawyer from New York was transferred to a small frontier town during the settlement of the West. After several weeks there he noticed that the town was populated solely by men.

He asked one of the local cowboys, “What do you do when you get the urge for a woman?”

The cowboy replied, “See them thar’sheep up on thet hill. We just go git us one.”

“That is disgusting and barbaric!!” replied the lawyer.

After about 3 months the lawyer could not stand it any longer. He decided though, if he was going to do a sheep, he would show these yokels how to do it right. He picked out the prettiest sheep of the bunch, bathed her, put a pink ribbon on her, served her hay on a

china plate, dressed her in fine lingerie,and then took the sheep to bed.

After he finished he decided to take his new found lover out for a drink. He wandered into the local saloon with the sheep under his arm.

The piano fell silent, people dropped drinks, and all the cowboys turned, and stared in shocked disbelief.

The lawyer said, “You bunch of hypocrites. You look at me as if I’m some sort of freak for doing what you’ve been doing all along. I’m just doing it with more class.”

“That ain’t the problem,” replied one cowboy. “That’s the sheriff’s gal you’re with.”

The second guy says, “Let’s fire three more shots into the air.”

They fire three more shots into the air, wait an hour, and nobody comes. The first guy says, “What do you think we should do now?”

The second guy says, “Let’s fire three more shots into the air.”

The first guy says, “Well I sure hope someone comes soon, these are my last three arrows!”.

Art Critic

A tiny but dignified old lady was among a group looking at an art exhibition in a newly opened gallery. Suddenly one contemporary painting caught her eye.

“What on earth,” she inquired of the artist standing nearby, “is that?”

He smiled condescendingly. “That, my dear lady, is supposed to be a mother and her child.”

“Well, then,” snapped the little old lady, “why isn’t it?”

Pillsbury Bake-Off winner

The winner in this year’s $1 million prize in the Pillsbury Bake-Off is a
Cream Cheese Brownie Pie created by Roberta Sonefeld from Hopkins, South
Carolina. This pie is so rich; George W. Bush asked it for a campaign
contribution.

During the Republican primaries, George W. Bush spent his campaign money at a
rate of $200,000 a day and broke Bob Dole’s record for most money spent on an
entire presidential campaign. He’s spending money so fast; a national
organization of scorned women has made him an honorary ex-wife.

Thousands of people are expected for the 15th annual Burning Man festival this
year in Black Rock Desert north of Reno, Nevada. This is the big hippie
festival, where people run around naked, drink and get stoned, or as George W.
Bush likes to call it, get ready to run for president.
