A cowboy rides into town, tired and dusty from the trail. He stops at the local saloon, ties up his horse, and goes inside for a drink.
After finishing his drink, he steps back outside—only to find his horse gone!
The cowboy storms back into the saloon, slams his fist on the bar, and shouts, “Alright, I’m gonna have one more drink. And if my horse ain’t back where I left it by the time I’m done, I’m gonna do what I did back in Texas! And I don’t wanna have to do that!”
The saloon goes silent. The bartender gulps. The cowboys at the poker table exchange nervous glances.
The cowboy slowly finishes his drink, then walks outside. Sure enough, his horse is tied up right where he left it.
As he saddles up, the bartender nervously steps out and asks, “Uh, sir… what exactly did you do back in Texas?”
The cowboy tips his hat and says, “I walked home.”
