A young, well-educated man on his first business trip gets on a plane to find himself seated next to an older, weathered man in a western snap shirt, faded jeans and a cowboy hat. Thinking himself above the old cowboy, the young man decides to make sport of him.

"You know," he says, "I've heard these flights go much more quickly if you strike up a conversation with a fellow passenger. So, let's talk."

The cowboy looks at him and says, "Well I s'pose that'd be all right. What'd ya like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," says the young man with a hint of sarcasm. "How about nuclear proliferation?"

"Hmm," says the cowboy, sensing the young man's attempt to belittle him. "That could be an interesting topic. But, let me ask you a question first: horses, cows, and deer all eat the same stuff--- grass. Yet, a deer passes little pellets, a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse makes muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"

Dumbfounded, the young man replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."

"So tell me then," says the cowboy with a knowing smile, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss geopolitics when you obviously don't know sh*t?"

There's this unusual little bar, where you can get a free beer if you know the secret code.

The secret code works like this: you sit down at the bar. The bartender tells you a number. And you tell him another number. If it's right, you get a free beer.

For example, a customer goes up to the bar and the bartender says, "six." The customer says, "three," and he gets his free beer.

The second fellow goes up to the bar, and the bartender says, "twelve." The customer says, "six," and he gets his free beer!

A third customer sits at the bar, and the bartender says, "fourteen." The customer says, "eight." He gets a free beer.

You're sitting there. The bartender turns to you and says, "twenty two."

What's your answer for a free beer?

Funny, I'd have said fourteen. #-o

(Would someone please tell me why it's nine? I seem to be a strawberry blonde today.)
