Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire, out on the lonesome prairie,
each with the bravado for which cowboys are famous.

A night of tall tales begins...

The first says, "I must be the meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just
the other day, a bull got loose in the corral and gored six men before I  
jumped in and wrestled it to the ground, by the horns, with my bare hands."

The second laughs.  "Why that's nothing. I was walking down the trail
yesterday and a fifteen foot rattler slid out from under a rock and made a
move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off, and
sucked the poison down in one gulp.  And I'm still here today."

Two heads swivel to regard the third cowboy, who remains impassively silent...
pensively stirring the hot coals with his penis.
