A Cowboy sitting in a saloon one Saturday night
recognized an elderly man standing at the bar who, in
his day, had the reputation of being the fastest gun in
the West. The young cowboy took a place next to the old-timer,
bought him a drink and told him the story of his great
ambition. "Do you think you could give me some tips?"
he asked. The old man looked him up and down and said,
"Well, for one thing, you're wearing your gun too high.
Tie the holster a little lower down on your leg."
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.
"Sure will," replied the old-timer.
The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out
his 44 and shot the bow tie off the piano player.
"That's terrific!" said the hot shot. "Got any more tips for me?"
"Yep," said the old man. "Cut a notch out of your holster
where the hammer hits it. That'll give you a smoother draw"
"Will that make m e a better gunfighter?" asked the younger man.
"You bet it will," said the old-timer.
The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood
up, drew his gun in a blur, and then shot a cufflink off
the piano player "Wow!" exclaimed the cowboy, "I'm learnin'
somethin' here. Got any more tips?"
The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the
saloon. "See that axle grease over there? Coat your gun with it."
The young man went over to the can and smeared some of
the grease on the barrel of his gun.
"No," said the old-timer, "I mean smear it all over the
gun, handle and all."
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.
"No," said the old-timer, "but when Wyatt Earp gets done
playing the piano, he's gonna shove that gun up your ass,
and it won't hurt as much."
