The Cowboy and the Preacher

 I got this in my email today and thought it was rather cute, and am sharing it with all my blogger friends, instead of forwarding the email around. As I say, not much goes around that I have not read before, but this one I do not remember and it brought a smile, and I hope it brings a smile to someone else.

The Cowboy and the Preacher  

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 had 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."
