The Old Prospector
An old prospector walks his tired old mule into
a western town one day.
He'd been out in the desert for about six
months without a drop of whiskey.
He walked up to the first saloon he came to 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 walked 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. I just never wanted to.'
A crowd had gathered by then and the gunslinger said,
'Well, you old fool, you're gonna' dance now,' and
started shooting at the old man's feet. The old prospector
was hopping a round and everybody was laughing.
When the gunslinger fired his last bullet, he holstered
his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
The old man reached up on the mule, drew his shotgun,
and pulled both hammers back making a double clicking
sound. The gunslinger heard the sound and everything
got quiet. The crowd watched as the gunslinger slowly
turned around looking down both barrels of the shotgun.
The old man asked, 'Did you ever kiss a mule's ass?'
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, 'No. But
I've always wanted to.'
The lessons from this story:
1. Don't waste ammunition.
2. Don't mess with old people.
