TAURUS

IM SO DUMB and LUCKY! - example - A buddy and I went stateside and checked out a sporting good store. Part of the store was 'cowboy' clothing - denim anything. I was checking out a one of those Australian waxed-leather rain jackets, and looked over to see my buddy staring at the bottom half 'only' of a manequin wearing a totally skimpy pair of 'daisy-dukes'! I looked at my buddy and said laughing 'what kind a cowboy would wear those'? He started gutting himself, walked away, and the girl I didnt see that was working in the 'cowgirl' aisle with the 'daisys' looked at me and walked away all shocked and in a hurry and shit....I felt dumb for a minute, then laughed my ass off and went to check out the nines in sporting goods. While checking the guns, and laughing to myself outloud, the proprietor walked over, gave me a squinty-crooked-eye-look and said, 'Pardner, guns aint funny'! I began to laugh at him as well and was then asked to leave the premises. As I walked towards the door, the gun-guy said 'the piece you want is $100 bucks a pop'! I looked at him all confused, then the girl from the 'cowgirl' aisle walked over, WITH, the daisys on and asked 'Whats yer hurry, ;) Buy a cowgirl a drink'? I said 'YEAH', and we walked back past the sporting goods, gun racks, cowboy AND cowgirl clothing section to the makeshift 'saloon' in the back of the store - NOT A WORD OF A LIE!! It was a total 'ooh la la ' event after that. My buddy ended up target practicing on a frozen hog carcass with some 'questionable' weapons in the basement with the proprietor, AFTER he shut the store down!!! and while I was with the 'cowgirl'! After the hour was over, the cowgirl who was actually 28 but looked more like 22, picked up a walkie-talkie and said 'Bubba, this'n here is fit for branding' THAT scared me tremendously, as I have seen 'The silence of the Lambs' and wasnt all too sure if that meant I was going to be a NEW line of clothing on the rack in the 'waxed-leather' section! She sensed my worry and said 'Dont worry, All that means is you get to pick out any peice of clothing in the store with our store-name on it for 50% off, as long as you wear it up there in CAN when Its possible and tell them how courteous we are!?!?! I said 'Sounds fair'. I proceeded to the waxed-leather jacket, took it to the till, and to my surprise was given a further 10% off, leaving a payment of @130 with tax. My buddy after bruising the hell out of his shoulder with weaponry walked to the till with the gun-guy, who said 'Thisn here was THE best day Ive had in a long time' the cowgirl - who turned out to be his sister said 'I do declare it has been FUN'!! The people walked us to the door, and unlocked it. The proprietor said so long, and 'Dont forget to wear the jacket when it rains'! The 'cowgirl' said, 'Yall come back now, Hear'!, and they waved at us as we sprinted to the truck and got the hell outa there before I got charged for the 'hour' and the whiskey. ---- STRANGE DAYS INDEED

NOTE: From what Ive heard thru the locals that have stopped there after I mentioned the great service and deals, I am considered a 'gentleman' by the 'cowgirl' and am spoken of as a respected 'OUT-LAW' by the proprietor ( for deeking the 'charge' ) Anyway, from what I hear the stores sales R booming, and the proprietor actually married the lady from Seattle who supplied the rain-jackets, while the cowgirl became a Law student after taking advice from a 'gentlmen' who told her to invest her time in education after an hour-long conversation on 'International Business Law'
