Don't mess with old women :)

I was out riding my old mule the other day when I stopped in front of a saloon. I walked up and tied my old mule to the hitching rail, as I stood there brushing some of the dust from my face and clothes, a young man stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young man looked at me laughing and he said, "Hey, Old Woman, have you ever danced?" I looked at the young man and said, "No, I never did dance...never really wanted to." A crowd gathered as the young man grinned and said, "Well, old woman, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at my feet.

Not wanting to get my toes blown off I started hopping around; everybody started laughing. When his last bullet had been fired, the young man, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. That is when I turned, went to my pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun and cocked both hammers. The loud click carried clearly through the air and the crowd stopped laughing immediately.

The young man heard the sound too, and he turned around very slowly, the silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched as the young man stared at me and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels. The barrel of the shotgun never wavered in my hands, as I quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's butt?" The young man swallowed hard and said, "No mamm...but...I've always wanted to."

The moral of this story, never be arrogant, don't waste ammunition, whiskey makes you think you're smarter that you are, always, always make sure you know who has the power, and don't mess with old women; they didn't get old by being stupid. I just love a happy ending, don't you?

The old ones are the best, but a good tail

Love that! And so true! Never mess with an older woman...she will always outsmart you!

Some stories are worth telling again. I posted this a couple of years ago. I made some revisions and wanted to repost in the creative writing forum. I'm pleased that I was able to bring a smile to your day.
