It’s a very hot day somewhere in Texas, and a cowboy comes riding slowly into town.

Thirsty, tired and badly burned by the sun, the cowboy rides straight to the saloon.

Tipping his hat to the sheriff as he jumps off his horse: “Howdy, sheriff!”

The sheriff, rocking in his rocking-chair, nods lightly: “Howdy, stranger!”

As the cowboy walks around the back of the horse, he lifts the horse’s tail, and places a loud kiss where the sun don’t shine…

The sheriff stops his rocking-chair: “Now, hold it mister! Did I just see what I just saw?”

The cowboy dryly replies: “’Reckon you did, sir!”

The sheriff, getting up from his rocking-chair: “Why on earth would you ever want to kiss a horse’s ass?”

The cowboy explains: “Sir, I got me some bad chapped lips, and this keeps me from licking them!”
