"PETE'S, "Cowboy Chili"
A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Pahrump, Nevada. He sits at the
counter and notices an old cowboy "Two Gun PETE" 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 "PETE", the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"
Cowboy "PETE" 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 shocking
and he immediately barfs up the chili into the bowl.
"PETE", The old cowboy, quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."
