Cowboy cures

Tex Hewitt

It had been a long ,hot ride to Tuscon. Both horse and rider were glad to have finally reached town. Being the middle of the day, the streets were mostly deserted. Finaly the rider saw what he was looking for, a Saloon in which to cut the trail dust. He pulled his horse up to the hitching rail. An ole timer was sitting on the shaded front porch, watching the stranger.<br />
<br />
Dismounting, the cowboy tied off his mount, went around to the back of the horse and lifts it's tail. Then he leans in and kisses the horses ass.<br />
<br />
"Hey Now." Barked out the old timer. " We don't cotton to that sort of thing around here. This is a civilized town ya know."<br />
<br />
"Chapped lips" Replied the cowboy as he came up the front steps.<br />
<br />
"What." Stammered the old timer. "Ya mean That's a cure for chapped lips?"<br />
<br />
"No," Smiled back the cowboy. "But it sure keeps me from lickin' them!"
