CALAHORRA CEA SAN FRANCISCO<br />
The Last Laugh<br />
Texas Style!<br />
An elderly couple*, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas.<br />
Bert had always wanted to own a pair of authentic cowboy boots*. And so, when<br />
he saw some on sale, he bought them. He put them on and went home.<br />
When Bert got home he marched proudly* into the kitchen and said to his wife,<br />
Margaret:” Do you notice anything different about me?”<br />
Margaret looked him over: “Nope*”<br />
Frustrated, Bert stormed off* into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into<br />
the kitchen. He was completely naked, except for the boots.<br />
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time: “Do you notice anything<br />
different NOW?”<br />
Margaret looked up and exclaimed: “Bert, what’s different? It’s hanging down*<br />
today, it was hanging down yesterday, and it will be hanging down again tomorrow!”<br />
Furious, Bert shouted at her: “And do you know why it’s hanging down,<br />
Margaret?”<br />
“Nope”, she replied.<br />
“It’s hanging down because it’s looking at my new boots!”<br />
Without changing her expression, Margaret replied:<br />
“You should have bought a hat, Bert. You should have bought a hat.”<br />
