One Sunday a cowboy went to church. When he
entered, he saw that he and the preacher were the only ones present.
The preacher asked the cowboy if he wanted
him to go ahead and preach.
The cowboy said, "I'm not too smart,
but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I'd feed him."
So the minister began his sermon. One hour
passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came
down to ask the cowboy how he liked the sermon.
The cowboy answered slowly, "Well, I'm
not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn't
feed him all the hay..."
