Cowboy's Philosophies On Life
It's no secret I love cowboys, and there's no shortage of them here in Arizona. We probably don't have as many per capita as Texas, but we've got our share.
The cowboy philosophies on life are something to keep in mind:
1. Don't squat with your spurs on.
2. Don't interfere with something that ain't bothering you none.
3. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
4. Always drink upstream from the herd.
5. Telling a man to git and making him do it are two entirely different propositions.
6. When you give a personal lesson in meanness to a critter or to a person don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.
7. If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still back there.
8. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.
9. If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.
10. And never, ever, miss a good opportunity to shut up.

I love #10
A shame now we know all cowboys are gay. Sort of spoils it for you girls...
(jealous Fal)
Me, too, Jenna. And #4. LOL
Now, Fal, that's just mean. Just because we love cowboys doesn't mean we don't still love tuxedo-clad Euro boys. :)
Don't squat with spurs on! LOL.
Yeah, Annalee, that's pretty sound advice, too. Ouch!
When I was a tad they always told me not to drink downstream from the herd. I've taken that advice several times, and it's stood me in good stead.
And all I gotta say about cowboys is, all my neighbors are. It's just a way of life here.
I love #2 and #6. The pics are pretty yummy as well, Sherrill. :)
Yeah, well, Forrest, you would be in Texas, right? Where being a cowboy is as much about attitude as it is whether you wear boots or not...
Hey, T.A. All of the points are valid, wouldn't you say? But, yeah, #4 especially makes a lot of sense. :)
Yep...I bet a cowboy only drank down stream from the herd once...lol. That is if none of his fellow cowboys warned him first.
Well, if any cowboys are like the men in my family, they prefer a man learn from his own mistakes. Which means they'd let him drink downstream from the herd and then laugh like a bunch of hyenas...
