Say Pardner

*Cowboy Fish rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink.
Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which
Cowboy Fish was. When he finished his drink, Cowboy Fish found his horse
had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the
air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the
ceiling. "Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?" Cowboy Fish
yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "Alright, I'm gonna
have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish,
I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun
in Texas!" *

*Some of the locals shifted restlessly. Cowboy Fish , true to his word, had
another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post.
Cowboy Fish saddled up and started to ride out of town. *

*The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say pardner, before you
go... what happened in Texas?" *

*Cowboy Fish Turned back and said, "I had to walk home." *
