COWBOY WISDOM

(This originally appeared in Tom Gill Predicts Volume 15, No. 13, October 1, 2000, 
from material forwarded by Alex Cooke):

Never kick a fresh cow chip on a hot day.

There's two theories to arguin' with a woman.  Neither one works.

Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew.  Your mouth is
probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin'
somebody else's dog around.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to
make sure it's still there.

When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or person, don't be
surprised if they learn their lesson.

Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in
your pocket.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.
