A kid walked up to a guy wearing a
10-gallon hat, leather vest, leather chaps, and sneakers. The kid asked him, "Mr.
Cowboy, why do you wear that big hat?"
The cowboy replied, "Well, son, the
big hat protects me from hot sun and driving rain, and at night I put it over my face when
I sleep on the range, so it protects me then, too."
"Why do you wear that leather
vest?"
"It also helps to keep the weather off
me, and it has pockets where I can keep my valuables."
"Well, why do you wear leather
chaps?"
"They protect my legs when I'm driving
my horse through mesquite and cactus."
"Well, Mr. Cowboy," the kid
finally asked, "Why do you wear sneakers?"
"That's so nobody will think I'm a
damn truck driver."
