Cast: Texan = Houston Illinoisian(?) = ? Wisconsinite = Peter C.
A Texan, a guy from Illinois, and a Wisconsinite were riding their horses out
on the range.
The Texan, just to show off, pulled an expensive bottle of whiskey out of
his saddlebag,
took a couple swallows, threw the bottle in the air, pulled out his gun, and
shot it in mid-air.
The guy from Illinois was shocked. "What are you doing?" he shouted.
"That's a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!"
The Texan replied, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are
cheap!"
A little while later, not wanting to be outdone, the guy from Illinois pulled
out a
bottle of champagne, took a few sips, threw the bottle into the air,
pulled out his gun and shot it, just like the Texan did.
The guy from Wisconsin couldn't believe it. "What are you doing?" he
shouted.
"That was a very expensive bottle of champagne!"
With a wink to the Texan, he said, "In Chicago, there's plenty of
champagne and bottles are cheap."
About 15 minutes later, the Wisconsinite pulled out a bottle of beer.
He opened it and took a sip. Then another sip.
Then he chugged the rest of the bottle. He then placed the
bottle back in his saddlebag, pulled out his gun and shot the guy from
Illinois.
The Texan was visibly shaken. "What did you do that for?!?!" he exclaimed.
The Wisconsinite replied, "Well, in Wisconsin, we have plenty of people from
Illinois, and bottles are returnable."
