A cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Medicine Bow,
Wyoming ...
He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy
with his arms folded staring blankly at a full bowl of chili.

After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it,
the young Cowboy bravely asks the old cowpoke,
"If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"

The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young
wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, you go
ahead."

Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides
the bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with
delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a
dead mouse in the chili.

The sight was very shocking and he immediately
barfs up the chili back into the bowl.

The Old cowboy quietly says,
"Yep, that's as far as I got, too."
