"Shakespearean Cowboys"
A man and his son recently moved to Texas.
One Saturday afternoon they decided to take
a walk through the park. During the walk the
boy sees 2 cowboys walk by.
"Dad, look at those bow-legged bastards!"
The father is surprised by this and tells his
son that is not very nice language to use.
A few minutes later, 2 more cowboys walk
by and again the boy yells, "Dad, look at
those bow legged bastards!"
The father, quite upset now turns to his son
and says, "I told you not to say that and I do
not want to hear it again, or else."
Just a few minutes go by and another pair of
cowboys walk by and once again the child
yells, "Dad, look at those bow-legged bastards!"
"That's it!" the father yells, and takes the child
home and locks him in his room with the
complete works of Shakespeare.
Two weeks later, he lets his son out and notices
that he has taken to speaking like Shakespeare
wrote. This impressed the father so he decided
to take his son out for another walk through the
park.
As they were walking a pair of cowboys walk
past them.
The boy turns to his father and says, "Father,
what strange men are these, whose balls
hang in parentheses?"
