Sheriff, walks into a saloon and asks: "Anybody here seen a fella with
brown paper shirt, brown paper hat, brown paper pants?"

Patron: "What's he wanted for, Sheriff?"

Sheriff: "Rustlin'?"

His horse follows him in. The bartender asks, "Why the long face?"

Maybe we should defer interpretation to the rec.mount group.

Well, yes, it was: >> A guy walks into a bar in Arkansas and orders
a white wine.

Of course, it doesn't say that he got it. :-)

Ordered a white wine, no mention of whether the bar "serves" white wine or
not.

I was last there in September, before that 5-6 times in the last 4 years.
Afew times before that since 1983. There was no mention whether the bar
served white wine or not.

Hah! What a hoot. Where to, Leon, and what for? WW school?

I lived on LRAFB most of the time. The year my parents were separated,
we lived in North Little Rock, the little brick duplex on the
Governor's estate bloc, just outside his fence. That was the previous
(to Clintoon) corrupt governor, Faubus.

I used to get so tanned in the hot summer sun there that we were once
refused entrance to a restaurant. I don't miss that place at all and
have never wanted to return.

Which one?
Neither the cowboys nor their horses would understand it.
The farmers & rednecks would immediately high-five each other.
