Campfire tales

Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire.

The youngest cowboy says, “Last week, a mammoth bull gored 10 men on the range, but I stepped in and wrestled it to the ground with nothing but my bare hands.”

Not wanting to be outdone, the second cowboy says, “That’s nothing. Two days ago, I was attacked by a 10-foot rattler, but I caught it in mid-strike and ripped off its head with my teeth.”

The oldest cowboy just sits there quietly, slowly stirring the coals with his penis.

Playing the Game

Two bored dealers are waiting around for someone to walk up and
try their luck at the craps table. A very attractive lady comes
in and wants to bet twenty-thousand dollars on a single roll of
the dice. The dealers agree.

She says, “I hope you don’t mind, but I feel much luckier when
I’m half naked.” With that she strips naked from the waist down,
and rolls the dice while yelling, “Momma needs a new pair of
pants!” She then begins jumping up and down and hugging each of
the dealers.

“YES! I WIN! I WIN!” With that she picks up her money and
clothes and quickly leaves.

The dealers just stare at each other dumbfounded. Finally one of
them asks, “What did she roll anyway?” The other answers, “I
don’t know. I thought YOU were watching the dice!”

Hell is a cool place!

One day a guy died and found himself in hell. As he was wallowing in despair, he had his first meeting with a demon.

The demon asked, “Why so glum?”

The guy responded, “What do you think? I’m in hell!”

“Hell’s not so bad,” the demon said. “We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinking man?”

“Sure,” the man said, “I love to drink.”

“Well you’re gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, diet Tab and Fresca. We drink till we throw up and then we drink some more!”

The guy is astounded. “Damn, that sounds great.”

“You a smoker?” the demon asked.

“You better believe it!”

“You’re gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from all over the world and smoke our lungs out. If you get cancer, no biggie. You’re already dead, remember?”

“Wow, the guy said, “that’s awesome!”

The demon continued. “I bet you like to gamble.”

“Why yes, as a matter of fact I do.”

“Wednesdays you can gamble all you want. Craps, blackjack, roulette, poker, slots, whatever. If you go bankrupt, well, you’re dead anyhow. You into drugs?”

The guy said, “Are you kidding? I love drugs! You don’t mean…”

“That’s right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack, or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want, you’re dead, who cares!”

“Wow,” the guy said, starting to feel better about his situation, “I never realized Hell was such a cool place!”

The demon said, “You gay?”

“No.”

“Ooooh, you’re gonna hate Fridays!”
