A Life Lesson

[MegaWatt]

An old prospector walks his tired old mule into a western town one
day.
He'd been out in the desert for about six months without a drop of
whiskey.

He walked up to the first saloon he came to and tied his old mule to
the hitch rail. As he stood there brushing some of the dust from his
face and clothes, a young gunslinger walked 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 man and laughed, saying, "Hey
old man, have you ever danced?"

The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did
dance. I just never wanted to."

A crowd had gathered by then and the gunslinger said, "Well, you old
fool, you're gonna' dance now," and started shooting at the old man' s
feet. The old prospector was hopping a round and everybody was laughing.

When the gunslinger fired his last bullet, he holstered his gun and
turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old man reached up on the mule, drew his shotgun, and pulled both
hammers back making a double clicking sound. The gunslinger heard the
sound and everything got quiet. The crowd watched as the gunslinger slowly
turned around looking down both barrels of the shotgun.

The old man asked, "Did you ever kiss a mule square on the behind?"

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

The lessons from this story are:

1. Don't waste ammunition.

2. Don't mess with old guys.

Valuable lessons there, but did the the old man ever get his whiskey?
