In Texas, of course, the circuit preacher was making his rounds and as he made his way through the brush country he came upon a cowboy chasing a coyote. As he watched, the cowboy caught the coyote and holding it by a rear leg, proceeded to skin out of his chaps and briches, then have his way with the hapless animal.
Of course the preacher was appalled, so he hurried to town to alert the authorities.
When he reached town he first tried the sheriffs office to fine no-one there, then sped across the street to the saloon. The first thing he sees when he goes through the door is an 89 year old man, sitting at the first table, jacking off.
Of course the preacher is livid. He storms up to the sheriff, who is leaning on the bar nursing a beer, and says
"What the heck kind of a place is this?!! First I see a cowboy having beastial sex out in broad daylight, then come in here and find a senior citizen abusing himself, in front of God and everbody! How do you explain this?!!"
The sheriff took a sip of beer and replied
"Well, hell, boy, you don't expect an old man like that to catch a coyote, do you?"
