New Boots...
An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas
Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on
sale, he bought them and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife,
'Notice anything different about me?'
Margaret looked him over. 'Nope.'
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked
back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, 'Notice anything
different NOW?'
Margaret looked up and exclaimed, 'Bert, what's different? It's hanging
down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again
tomorrow!'
Furious, Bert yelled, 'AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?'
'Nope', she replied.
'IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!'
Without changing her expression, Margaret replied, 'Shoulda bought a
hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat.'

Answers
I have genuine cowboy boots from when I visited Texas many years ago. Weird thing is I can't get them on any more. Can't work out if my feet are larger or the leather boots have shrunk ! Pity really as, as you might guess, they've not been worn much since I came back to the UK, they're still in reasonable nick.
