My only joke, thanks to a professor at the University of Manitoba, circa
1997. Set in the old west.
A cowboy is riding along on his favorite horse when he's suddenly
surrounded and taken prison by a band of roaming Indians. The indians
take the cowboy and his horse and tell him the traditional way that the
tribe deals with their victims:
Each day for the next 3 days, you get a wish. If its in our power to
grant it to you, we will. After the 3rd wish is done, you die a horrible
slow death. Time for your first wish.
The cowboy thinks a bit, and says "I want to talk to my horse." So the
indians bring the horse over, the cowboy whispers in his ears, and the
horse runs off. A little while later the horse comes back with a
beautiful blond naked woman. The cowboy and the woman go in the tent,
appropriate noises are heard, and then the horse takes the woman away.
The next day, time for the wish comes, and the Indians, amazed at
yesterday's performance, all gather round. The cowboy says "I want to
talk to my horse". So the horse is brought over, the cowboy whispers in
its ears, and the horse takes off. A little while later the horse comes
back, with a beautiful brunette, naked, same routine as before, cowboy
and the women go in the tent, ..., etc.
On the third and final day, the indians are totally amazed, and are
eager to hear what the cowboy's wish will be. So they all gather round,
and the cowboy again says "I want to talk to my horse." The horse is
brought over, and this time the cowboy grabs the horse by the head,
stares right at him, and says -- "Read my lips -- Posse! Posse!"
