Some old cowboys were seated around the campfire out on the lonesome prairie, and with the pride for which these men were famous, it was a night of bravado, rotgut whiskey, and many tall tales...Rico says ya gotta be tough to do that...Frank, the hand from Texas, said: "I must be the strongest, meanest,
toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day, a bull got loose in the
corral. It gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the
horns with my bare hands and castrated that sucker with my teeth."
Snake River Ben, from Idaho, couldn't stand to be bested: "That's
nuthin', I was walking down the trail yestidday and a fifteen-foot diamondback rattler slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that bastard with my bare hands, bit off its head, and sucked the poison down in one gulp. Didn't even get a belly ache."
Old Powder River Tom, the cowboy from Wyoming, remained silent,
slowly stirring the campfire coals with his pecker.
