The cowboy from Kansas said, 'I'm the meanest, hardest hombre this side of the Pecos River. On the last roundup, a big Brahma bull got loose and gored six cowboys before I jumped on that big fella, wrestled him to the ground and hog-tied him all by my lonesome.'

The cowpoke from Wyoming gave a snort of disgust, spit out his wad of tobacco and claimed, 'Why that's nothing, just last Fall I was guiding a wagon train through Indian territory when a nest of rattlesnakes spooked my horse and I was thrown right smack dab in the middle of them. I had to grab 'em all before I was bit. With both hands full of snake, the only way to kill them was to bite their heads off. Now tell me that ain't the manliest thing you've ever heard.'

The Texan remained quiet, slowly stirring the coals with his penis.
