An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio, Texas leading an old
tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town, to clear
his parched throat. He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the
hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and
clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and
a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man,
have you ever danced?" The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I
never did dance... never really wanted to."
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool,
you're gonna' dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet. The old
prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started hopping around like a
flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.
When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing,
holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man
turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both
hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.
The crowd stopped laughing immediately. The young gunslinger heard the sounds
too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The
crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping
holes of those twin barrels.
The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly
said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... but..... I've always
wanted to."

There are a few lessons for us all here:
Never be arrogant!
Don't waste ammunition!
Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are!
Always, always make sure you know who has the power!
Don't mess with old men, they didn't get that way by being stupid!
I just love a story with a happy ending, don't you?
A joke
