A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Western Oklahoma. He sits at
the counter and notices an old cowboy 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 the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, do you mind
if I do?"

The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in
his best Okie manner says, "Nah, 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.

The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."
