There's this guy who had been lost and walking in the
desert for about 2 weeks. One hot day, he sees the home
of a missionary. Tired and weak, he crawls up to the
house and collapses on the doorstep. The missionary finds
him and nurses him back to health. Feeling better, the
man asks the missionary for directions to the nearest
town. On his way out the back door, he sees this horse.
He goes back into the house and asks the missionary,
"Could I borrow your horse and give it back when I reach
the town?"
The missionary says, "Sure but there is a special thing
about this horse.
You have to say 'Thank God' to make it go and 'Amen' to
make it stop."
Not paying much attention, the man says, "Sure, ok." So
he gets on the horse and says, "Thank God" and the horse
starts walking. Then he say, "Thank God, thank God," and
the horse starts trotting. Feeling really brave, the man
say, "Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God, thank
God" and the horse just takes off.
Pretty soon he sees this cliff coming up and he's doing
everything he can to make the horse stop. "Whoa, stop,
hold on!!!!" Finally he remembers, "Amen!
The horse stops 4 inches from the cliff. The man leans
back in the saddle and says, "Thank God"........
Three buddies were going to take their city-slicker
friend for an outing in the country. The guy from the
big city hadn't had too much ranch experience, so they
were going to introduce him to the finer side of the
wild wild west.
Undoubtedly the city slicker was quite apprehensive
about what his country friends would be up to. His
worst fears were realized as the four buddies drove
up to a dude ranch. He refused to get out of the car,
saying that he would certainly be killed by a bucking
bronco, and he would merely watch from the sidelines.
His buddies refused to accept his reticence, and they
tried their best to persuade him that horse back
riding was truly safe.
To prove their sincerity, they pointed to the sign
hanging above the dude ranch entrance:
"We have something for everyone!
For fat people, we have fat horses.
For skinny people, we have skinny horses.
For fast people, we have fast horses.
For slow people, we have slow horses.
For people who have never ridden horses before,
We have horses that have never been ridden before."
