A bowl of chilli

[TamaraEnLaPlaya]

A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Prescott, Arizona. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded staring blankly at a full bowl of chilli. After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asks the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"

    The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, you go ahead."

    Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chilli. The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the chilli into the bowl.

    The old cowboy quietly says, 

"Yep, that's as far as I got, too."
