I'm a hopeless addict

A friend of mine is or was a real working cowboy and wrangler from Idaho.

We were in a gunshop one day, and a jobber for a gun distributor came in. Kind of a dumpy goofy guy. Gary was wearing a new "Silver Belly" Stetson hat and his usual White's packer boots.

This jobber look at him and in a trying to be funny tone said, " I'm from Texas and y'all gotta find out how real cowboys dress. Nice try though." Gary looked at the guy and said in his cowpoke twang, "TEXAS!? Isn't that back east somewhere?" Another guy in the shop mumbled "Think it's in Northern Mexico." The jobber did'nt say another word.

No slam intended toward Texas. Just thought it was an amusing story.
