An Old Woman
A old woman prospector shuffled into a town leading a mule .
The old woman headed straight for the only saloon to clear her parched throat .
She walked up and tied her old mule to the hitching rail .
As she stood there, brushing some dust from her face and clothes ,a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old woman “Hey “ “old woman have you ever danced”
The old woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, “No, I’ve never did dance...never really wanted too”.
A crowed had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said “well , you old bag you’re gonna dance now”,and started shooting at the old woman’s feet .
The old woman prospector ... not wanting to get her toes blown off... started hopping around .
Everybody was laughing .
When his last bullet had been fired , the young gunslinger, still laughing ,holstered his gun turned around to go back into the saloon.
The old woman turned to her pack mule, pulled out a double barrelled shotgun, cocking both hammers .
The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.
The crowed stopped laughing immediately.....
The young gunslinger heard the sounds too...he turned around very slowly ... The silence was deafening.
The crowed watched as the young gunman stared at the old woman and the large gaping holes of the two barrels .
The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old woman’s hands , as she said Quietly, “Son, have you ever kissed a mules Ass ?
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said , “No Ma’am ..... but ... I’ve always wanted to”.
