Gallop, Stormy! I have a sugar cube!

I don’t know, Dad, sometimes I think it was a mistake opening this dude ranch for morons. I mean, I’m lookin’ out the window right now, and there’s this city slicker STANDING on his saddle. No, I ain’t kidding.

And this dandy ain’t just standing, he’s twirlin’ a rope and fixin’ to lasso his horse! Yeah, I’m just about to whistle real loud, and you know old Stormy will go right into a gallop. I need to make sure the guy’s check has cleared first, though.

That’ll be a hoot, but there’s more to life than sight gags, ain’t there, Dad? There ain’t? Well, you might of told me sooner!

More news of physical humor

An alarm clock — or even a rooster — would be quite enough, thank you.
