Howdy pard'ner! You might think us cowboys to be serious folk, but after a hard day's work there ain't nothin' better than relaxin' by the fire with a sarsaparilla and havin' a good laugh. And believe me when I tell you a cowboy could tell you a million stories that would have you splitting your sides. I took some time to scribble some of them jokes down for y'all, and I hope you enjoy them. Some of 'em are even true! Like the time this young whipper snapper was twirlin' his gun about and flappin' his chin about how tough he was and that if that famous outlaw was right beside him now he would shoot him dead between the eyes. Well, wouldn't you know it, that tough, old outlaw happened to show up, and that little greenhorn dang near peed his pants. If you like that, I got way more fer ya! If 'n there's one thing we cowboys love to talk about and have plenty to say on, it's the critters. We probably spend more time around them beasts than people. Horses especially, and they can impart wisdom to your life. Ya know what? A horse ain't trying to be polite when he comes to a fence and allows you to go over first! And when we ain't got no more stories, the classic one-liner always keeps us laughing. Try these: What's the nearest thing to silver? The Lone Ranger's bum. Why did the cowboy sleep with his saddle on? In case he caught any nightMARES! And my favorite (cause it's true): What's the last thing you hear before a cowboy dies? "Hey y'all! Watch this!"

The tradition of storytelling and folklore reaches deeply into the American notion of national identity, and among the more prominent emblems of American culture stands the cowboy. Despite the attempts to modernize the cowboy of our frontier past, today's mounted horsemen have learned how to adapt to a rapidly changing world--while tenaciously holding on to their heritage. Tall tales and yarns make up a great amount of the folklore of this literary tradition, yet woven throughout such stories stir an American mixture of humor, wisdom, and philosophy. In Horsing Around, Clayton, Davis, and Collins draw upon the vast amount of anecdotes portraying the lighter side of working on the range. The collected vignettes in Horsing Around will provide the collector of Texana greater accessibility to stories that are often told only at public performances.

The American cowboy is an icon recognized all over the world. There is, however, an aspect to the lifestyle that's rarely mentioned, which is a proclivity for practical jokes. Isolated ranch life, long hours, and the boredom that occurs at day's end serve as fodder for ingenious and diabolical pranks. This book celebrates the cowboy sense of humor and memorable highjinks from author/cartoonist Dr. Robert M. Miller's own days as a wrangler, as well as those of his colleagues.

If you like your humor ladylike and gentlemanly, sweet and gentle, reader this book ain't fer ya. Nope! This book of funny wildly humorous cowboy stories is raw and robust, tough and of the frontier! And it accurately reflects, through humor, the life of that time and place. You'll meet Tuscon Jennie, Texas Thompson, Doc Peets, Cherokee Hall and many more. Then you'll enter the Red Light bar at "first drink time, " or "second drink time" (that's how they measure the hours in Wolfville where all the good folks live), or you'll buy supplies at The New York Store and eat at the O.K. Restauraw. You'll delight in the poetic spelling, imaginative language and find their police force, "The Strangler" efficient "more than somewhat."

To the cowboy, for whom the world was a circus of creation, nothing was beyond the scope of laughter. His fertile imagination could produce trail drives of dry-land terrapins, cowboy firing squads for fighting game roosters, and a breed of "honk-honk birds" that could outrun a horse. He used humor to express his fondness for the West, to exchange sarcasms with railroaders, to teach lessons to tenderfeet, and even-sometimes-to laugh at death. In The Humor of the American Cowboy, Stan Hoig presents an authentic collection of tall tales, anecdotes, yarns, jokes, and humorous incidents of the Old West that not only entertain but also focus attention on a sometimes overlooked phase of cowboy life. Stan Hoig is professor emeritus of journalism at the University of Central Oklahoma. His other books include The Sand Creek Massacre and Perilous Pursuit: The U. S. Cavalry and the Northern Cheyennes.

"These is some a them stories what is wrote to be read out loud. And some of what is in here, just don't make no sense except for if you got a sprig a alfalfa a hanging twixt your teeth, a pair a worn down Cowboy boots on your feet, and the smell of leather or horses somewhere near by." Excerpts: Chapter 1 "Nose" " none of us ever asked him what he used to be called since it was a pretty sore subject for him to talk about." Chapter 4 "Dying For Your Beliefs" " the West wasn't nothing but brave men and stalwart women out there a taming the untamed why this wasn't no more based on fact than a buffalo can fly." Chapter 6 "Scratching Out a Living" "Real Cowboys were a might bashful and didn't speak up unless they was spoke to." Chapter 7 "Cowboys are Thinkers" "The actual thing of it is, that a Cowboy is one of God's few creatures what spends most of his life just sitting and thinking." Chapter 10 "Promises of Partners" "Well, a Cowboy's promise, like these partners had made each other to meet again, was always meant sincere, and for that it was trusted." Chapter 11 "God's Pay" "It's times like these when a Cowboy kind of figures God Hisself just needs some entertaining." Chapter 12 "Hop'n and Poke'n" "Cowboy'n is a profession what ain't appreciated for its value unless you been one."
