神秘的德州事件
A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals had a habit of picking on strangers. So when he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head and fired a shot into the ceiling. ''WHICH ONE OF YOU SIDEWINDERS STOLE MY HOSS?'' he yelled.
No one answered.
''ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA HAVE ANOTHA' BEER, AND IF MY HOSS AIN'T BACK OUTSIDE BY THE TIME I FINISH, I'M GONNA DO WHAT I DONE IN TEXAS! AND I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO DO WHAT I DONE IN TEXAS!''
Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The cowboy had another beer, walked outside, and his horse was back! He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, ''Say partner, before you go. . .what happened in Texas?''
The cowboy turned back and said, ''I had to walk home.''

有一天,有一個牛仔騎了匹馬進一個小鎮,他在一個酒吧停了下來打算喝點東西。不過很不幸滴,這個小鎮的人有一個傳統,就是「對陌生人惡作劇」。所以,當牛仔喝完些東西後,他發現他的馬被偷了。他速速衝回酒吧�,將他的手槍向天空拋出,接出後再對空鳴了一槍,他大吼:「速誰偷了我的馬!!!」
此時,大家都不敢答話…。
「好吧,我會再喝一杯啤酒,如果我酒喝完後馬還沒回來的話,我就會讓我在德州的事件重演一遍!!我並不希望讓那「德州事件」再上演一遍!!」
話說完,酒吧中有一些人趕緊落跑了。當牛仔喝完啤酒後,他走出酒吧,發現他的馬已經回來了。於是牛仔替他的馬上了鞍,打算離開這個小鎮。
此時,酒保緩緩地走出酒吧,他開口問道:「這位大俠,不好意思冒昧地問一下,您在德州到底做了什麼事呀?」
牛仔轉向他說:「喔,是這樣地,我在德州曾經走路回家過…」
