A young cowpoke walks into the Saloon.

He sits at the Bar and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded, staring blankly at a full bowl of soup.

After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowpoke bravely asked the the old cowboy,

"If'n you ain't gonna eat that there soup..do you mind if I do?"..

The older cowboy slowly turns his head towards the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nahh, go right ahead"..

Eagerly, the young cowpoke reaches over and slides his bowl over to his spot, and starts spooning it down with delight.

He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a very dead shrivelled mouse......the sight was too much, and he immediately barfs up all the soup back into the bowl.

The old cowboy looks sideways and quietly says, "Yepp,..that's about as far as I got too".....
