[BITList] Cowboy Story

[John Feltham]

Good ones keep on coming around…
 

A Montana cowboy, a Native American and a Muslim are 
waiting for their plane in a small Montana airport.
The Montana cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his 
boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained 
hat forward over his face.  The wind outside is blowing 
tumbleweeds around and the old windsock is flapping, 
but still no plane comes.  The American Indian clears his 
throat and softly speaks. "At one time here, my people 
were many, but sadly, now we are few."

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, 
"Once my people were few," he sneers, and now we are 
many. Why do you suppose that is?"  The Montana cowboy 
shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth, and from 
the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl: "That's 
cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do 
believe it's a-comin".
