Way-Out Out West (Cowboy Jokes)
by Michael Dahl
A
cowboy bought a beautiful new
horse. The salesman told him that
the horse’s former owner had been a
famous preacher.
“This horse is very religious,” said the
salesman. “And he only responds to special
commands. For instance, instead of saying
Giddy-up, you say Praise the Lord. And
instead of telling him to Whoa! you say
Hallelujah. Got that?”
“Praise the Lord and Hallelujah,” nodded
the cowboy.
Weeks later, the cowboy was riding through
unfamiliar territory. Gorges and cliffs fell
hundreds of feet on either side of the trail.
The cowboy wanted to stop and take a
rest, but he confused the two words the
salesman had taught him.
“Praise the Lord,” the cowboy said, but the
horse kept on galloping faster and faster.
The cowboy saw that the trail up ahead
ended in a dangerous cliff. He tugged and
pulled at the reins even harder and yelled,
“Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!” but the horse continued
to race toward the cliff.
All at once, the cowboy remembered the
right word.
“Hallelujah!” he cried.
The horse immediately stopped, mere
inches from the crumbling edge of the cliff.
The cowboy breathed a sigh of relief and
pulled off his hat, wiping the dust from
his eyes.
“Praise the Lord,” he said.
