There is a local farmer, by the name of Steve, who does not get out that much. A couple of years ago he had an exceptional crop and decided to treat himself. He went into town to the local coop store and bought a vcr and a big screen TV. Steve paid cash and the salesman threw in a Western on VCR tape. Steve picked up some popcorn and some beer on the way home. When Steve had the system set up, the beer cold and the popcorn ready, he phoned his close neighbor and best friend, Mike, to invite him over to enjoy the movie. Mike reported that he had a cow ready to calf and with regrets he would take a rain check. So Steve watched the movie by himself. The following evening Steve once more made the popcorn and extended the invitation Mike and further remarked about how entertaining the movie had been and how well the system worked. Mike once more had to decline on the basis that the cow had not yet delivered the calf. The following day the calf was delivered. In the evening the popcorn was made, Mike came over to Steve's residence and the refreshments were poured. Steve turned on the system and pressed play. Both men watched a young man ride across the badlands on a horse. The man entered and old western town, rode cautiously down the street and stopped in front of the saloon. Steve pressed pause. "Now Mike," he says "I bet you one hundred dollars that young man doesn't go into the saloon." Mike was rather surprised but he enjoyed a good wager and fancied that he knew a little bit about the nature of young cowboys. "OK Steve, he says "you are on for one hundred dollars. I think he will go into the saloon." Steve chuckled to himself and pressed play. The young man tied up his horse and walked into the saloon. Steve watched in disbelief, amazement and apprehension. Shortly after the young man entered the saloon he was set upon by four villians and pounded unmercifully. Steve waived his arms and slapped his forehead in exasperation. "That's three days in a row," he exclaimed "that young man is newer going to learn." This is a true story as sworn by the kid that works the gas pumps at the local Coop store. Neither Steve, nor Mike deny it.
