A Cowboy's Guide To Life

  • Don't never interfere with something that ain't botherin' you none.
  • Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
  • There's more ways to skin a cat than stickin' his head in a boot jack and jerkin' on his tail.
  • Some ranchers raise pigs and some will even admit it. Either way, they're raisin' pigs.
  • Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
  • The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it gets, the harder it is to swaller.
  • If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
  • Never smack a man who's chewin tobacco.
  • If it don't seem like it's worth the effort, it probably ain't.
  • It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
  • The biggest liar you'll ever have to deal with probably watches you shave his face in the mirror every morning.
  • Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.
  • If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
  • Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.
  • Always drink upstream from the herd.
  • Generally, you ain't learnin' nothin' when your mouth is a-jawin'.
  • Generally speakin', fancy titles and nightshirts are a waste of time.
  • Trust everybody in the game, but always cut the cards.
  • If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
  • If you're gonna go...go....If your mind's not made up, don't use your spurs.
  • Some things ain't funny. You ain't one of them.
