~THE OL MULE~ SHE WALKED UP AND TIED ER OL MULE TO THE HITCHIN POST. AS SHE STOOD THERE, BRUSHIN SOMEA THE DUST FROM ER FACE AND CLOTHES, A YOUNG GUNSLINGER STEPPED OUTA THE SALOON WITH A GUN IN ONE HAND AND A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY IN THE OTHER. THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER LOOKED AT THE OL WOMAN AND LAUGHED, HEY OL WOMAN, HAVE YOU EVER DANCED? THE OLD WOMAN LOOKED UP AT THE GUNSLINGER AND SAID, NO, I NEVER DID DANCE... NEVER REALLY WANTED TO. A CROWD HAD GATHERED AS THE GUNSLINGER GRINNED AND SAID WELL, YOU OL BAG, YER GONNA DANCE NOW, AND STARTED SHOOTIN AT THE OL WOMANS FEET. THE OLD WOMAN PROSPECTOR -- NOT WANTIN TO GIT ER TOE BLOWN OFF --STARTED HOPPIN AROUND... EVERYBODY WAS LAUGHIN. WHEN IS LAST BULLET HAD BEEN FIRED, THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER, STILL LAUGHIN, HOLSTERED IS GUN AND TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK INTO THE SALOON. THE OL WOMAN TURNED TO ER PACK MULE, PULLED OUT A DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOTGUN, AND COCKED BOTH HAMMERS. THE LOUD CLICKS CARRIED CLEARLY THRU THE DESERT AIR, AND THE CROWD STOPPED LAUGHIN IMMEDIATELY. THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER HEARD THE SOUNDS, TOO, AND HE TURNED AROUND VERY SLOWLY. THE SILENCE WAS ALMOST DEAFENING. THE CROWD WATCHED AS THE YOUNG GUNMAN STARED AT THE OL WOMAN AND THE LARGE GAPIN HOLES OF THOSE TWIN BARRELS. THE BARRELS OF THE SHOTGUN NEVER WAVERED IN THE OL WOMANS HANDS, AS SHE QUIETLY SAID, SON, HAVE YA EVER KISSED A MULES A_ _? THE GUNSLINGER SWALLERD HARD AND SAID, NO MAM... BUT IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO. THERE ARE A FEW LESSONS HERE FER ALL OF US: 1 - Never be arrogant. 2 - Dont waste ammunition. 3 - Whiskey makes ya think yer smarter than you are. 4 - Always, always make sher you know who has the power. 5 - Dont mess with ol women; they didnt get old by bein stupid. :)
