The Baptist Cowboy

[Ethan Cord]

A cowboy, who just moved to Wyoming from Texas, walks into a bar and

orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out

of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and

orders three more.

 

The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, "You know,a mug goes

flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time."

 

The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in

Arizona, the other is in Colorado . When we all left our home in Texas,we

promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank

together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for

myself."

 

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.

 

The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way.

He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.

 

 

One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take

notice and fall silent.

 

When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says,

"I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my

condolences on your loss."

 

The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his

eyes and he laughs.

 

"Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife

and I joined the Baptist Church and I quit drinking."

 

"Hasn't affected my brothers, though."

That's a good'n Ethan.

 

As a good Baptist, I promised my pastor I wouldn't drink a drop this weekend. So I poured myself a nice tall glass of beer, stuck my right index finger into the beer, pulled it out and let a drop of beer fall off my finger onto a napkin. Then I said, "There's the drop I promised not to drink."

 

A man should keep his word.

 

And lest we forget; Happy Easter.

 

HE IS RISEN!
