A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally, a reward was offered for his capture and an enterprising bounty hunter decided to track him down.
After a lengthy search, he traced the bandit to his favorite cantina, sneaked up behind him, put his pistol to the bandit's head, and said, "Let's keep this simple... Tell me where you hid the loot or I'll blow your brains out."
But the bandit didn't speak English and the bounty hunter didn't speak Spanish.
A cattle buyer, who traded cattle on the border, was in the cantina at the time. He spoke Spanish and offered to translate the bounty hunter's message. The terrified bandit blurted out, in Spanish, that the loot was buried under the oak tree in back of the cantina.
"What did he say?" asked the bounty hunter.
The cattle buyer answered, "He said 'Get lost, Gringo... You're too stupid to even know how to pull the trigger.'"
Two cattle buyers were talking about the upcoming fall run...
"I'm gonna make some changes this fall," said the first cattle buyer. "Two years ago, I was only home a few days during October and my wife got pregnant. Last October, I was home even less and my wife got pregnant again."
"So what are you gonna change?" asked the second cattle buyer.
"By God, this year I gonna take my wife with me," said the first cattle buyer.
A cattle buyer's barn burned down and his wife, Susan, called the insurance company.
She told the agent, "We had that barn insured for fifty thousand, so I'll be by to pick up the check."
The agent replied, "Whoa there, just a minute, Susan. Insurance doesn't work quite like that. We will ascertain the value of what was insured and provide you with a new one of comparable worth."
There was a long pause before Susan replied... "Then I'd like to cancel the life insurance policy on my husband."
At 3:00 A.M., an obviously inebriated cattle buyer called the motel front desk and asked what time the bar opens.
"It opens at noon," answered the clerk.
About an hour later, the cattle buyer called again, sounding even drunker. "What time does the bar open?" he asked.
"Same time as before... Noon," replied the clerk.
Another hour passed and the cattle buyer called again and slobbered, "What time joo shay the bar opens?"
The clerk then answered, "It opens at noon, but if you can't wait, I can have room service send something up to you."
"No!! I don't wanna git in... I wanna git OUT!!!"
