Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.<\/p>\n<p>2. Turn your cap right, your head ain&#8217;t crooked.<\/p>\n<p>3. Let&#8217;s get this straight: it&#8217;s called a &#8216;gravel road.&#8217; I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you&#8217;re gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>4. They are cattle. That&#8217;s why they smell like cattle. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don&#8217;t like it? I-10 &amp; I-40 go east and west, I-17 &amp; I-15 goes north and south. Pick one and go.<\/p>\n<p>5. So you have a $60,000 car. We&#8217;re impressed. We have $250,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.<\/p>\n<p>6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It&#8217;s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.<\/p>\n<p>7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese\/pheasants\/ducks\/doves are comin&#8217; in during a hunt, we WILL shoot it outta your hand. You better hope you don&#8217;t have it up to your ear at the time.<\/p>\n<p>8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It&#8217;s available at the corner bait shop.<\/p>\n<p>9. The &#8216;Opener&#8217; refers to the first day of deer season. It&#8217;s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.<\/p>\n<p>10. We open doors for women. That&#8217;s applied to all women, regardless of age.<\/p>\n<p>11. No, there&#8217;s no &#8216;vegetarian special&#8217; on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef&#8217;s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.<\/p>\n<p>12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah &#8230; We don&#8217;t care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat&#8230; IT AIN&#8217;T REAL CHILI!!<\/p>\n<p>13. You bring &#8216;Coke&#8217; into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring &#8216;Mary Jane&#8217; into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.<\/p>\n<p>14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don&#8217;t hit the water hazards &#8211; it spooks the fish.<\/p>\n<p>16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump ain&#8217;t music, anyway. We don&#8217;t want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!<\/p>\n<p>A true Westerner is always\u00a0friendly\u00a0and we share\u00a0our hopes, And there is more&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<br \/>\nThe COWBOY Solution to save Gasoline.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA wants us to cut the amount of gasoline we use&#8230;..The best way to stop using so much gasoline is to deport 15 million illegal immigrants! That would be 15 million less people using our gas.<br \/>\nThe price of gas would come down&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Bring our troops home from Afghanistan to guard the borders&#8230;.When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the Border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Afghanistan&#8230;.Tell him if he wants to come to AMERICA then he must serve a tour in OUR military&#8230;.Give him a soldier&#8217;s pay while he&#8217;s there and tax him on it&#8230;&#8230;After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country&#8230;..He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal resident&#8230;..This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Afghanistan and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The Identity of the Cowboy who sent this in is withheld because of the &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cowboy rules for: Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Nebraska, Idaho, and the rest of the Wild West are as follows: 1.
