Thread: Beware older women

She walked up and tied her old mule to the hitch rail. As she stood
there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes, a young
gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a
bottle of whiskey in the other.


The young gunslinger looked at the old woman and laughed, saying, "Hey
Old WOMAN, have you ever danced?"


The old woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, "no, i never did
dance... Never really wanted to."


a crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "well, you
old bag, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old
woman's feet.
The old woman prospector - not wanting to get her toes blown off -
started hopping around. Everybody was laughing.


When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still
laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the
saloon.


The old woman turned to her pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled
shotgun, and cocked both hammers.
The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd
stopped laughing immediately.


The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very
slowly. The silence was almost deafening.
The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old woman and the
large gaping holes of those twin barrels.


The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old woman's hands, as
she quietly said, "son, have you ever licked a mule's butt?"


The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "no mam... But... I've
always wanted to."


There are a few lessons for us all here:

​1 - NEVER BE ARROGANT.
2 - Don't waste ammunition.
3 - Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
4 - Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
5 - Don't mess with old women; they didn't get old by being stupid..
