You might be a cowboy if . . .

If your horse trailer cost more than your house trailer, you might be a cowboy

If you refer to your spurs as the family silver.

If you can jump from a moving horse on to the horns of a runaway steer and never lose your hat you might be a cowboy.

If your son is named after your prized bull.

If your bathtub is a stock tank.

If your horse brush is also your hairbrush you might be a cowboy.

If sleeping on the ground makes you feel rested.

If you refer to Saturday night as " bath night "

If you smell more like a horse than your horse does, you might be a cowboy.

If your idea of fun is being tied to a two-thousand pound, snot slinging,
raging bull... you might be a cowboy.

If you do all your Christmas shopping at the feed and tack store.

If your favorite fragrance is "Leather" you might be a cowboy.

And last but not least, you know you're a real cowboy if you give your word, shake on it, and stand behind it, no matter what.
Something to think about:

Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being to it is far, far
the greater.

Cowboy logic

* A smile from a good woman is better than a thousand handed out by a bartender

* Never trust somebody who agrees with you, he's probably wrong

* Always ride the horse in the direction it's going

* If it don't seem the effort, it usually ain't

* Never slap a man when he's chewing tobacco

* The most difficult man you'll meet is the one you see in the mirror every morning watching you shave. (Get it????)

• She's more evil than a sack full of rattle snakes

* He's as sorry as a two dollar watch

* She's so ugly she'd run a dog of a meat wagon

* Don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining

* He's slicker than snot on a door knob

Men will always tip their hat or touch two fingers to the brim when they meet a lady on the street.

Children are taught at an early age to say "Ma'am" and "Sir" to anyone older and are generally corrected if they have a moment of brain freeze. This habit continues well into adulthood.

If ladies are present, it is a must that the hat be removed.

A lady is lady until she proves differently.
