THE
GUNFIGHTER
A young cowboy sitting in
a saloon one Saturday night recognized an elderly man
standing at the bar who, in his day, had been the
fastest gun in the West.
The cowboy took a
place next to the old-timer, bought him a drink and told him
of his great ambition to be a great shot...
' Could you
give me some tips?' he
asked.
The old man 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?'
'Sure will
'
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 cowboy . 'Got any more
tips ?'
'Yep,' said the
old man. 'Cut a notch out of your holster where
he hammer hits it - that'll give you a smoother
draw'
'Will that make me a
better gunfighter?' asked the young 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 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. Practice safe eating - always use condiments.
