Ventriloquist Cowboy


A ventriloquist cowboy walks onto a ranch...

Cowboy to Rancher:
 Cowboy:  Is that your dog?
 Rancher: Yup.
 Cowboy:  Mind if I talk to him?
 Rancher: Durn fool, don't you know dogs don't talk. 
 Cowboy:  So what's the harm?  May I?
 Rancher: Go right ahead.

Cowboy to dog:
 Dog;     Howdy.
 Dog:     Hello. (Rancher's eyes pop out)
 Cowboy:  Is this your master?  (pointing to the rancher) 
 Dog:     Yep, sure is.
 Cowboy:  Does he treat you alright?
 Dog:     Sure does, every day he takes me for a walk, he
          feeds me all kinds of great food, and once a week 
          he takes me to the
          lake to play.

Rancher is standing there dumbfounded.

Cowboy to Rancher:
 Rancher: Is that your horse over there? 
 Rancher: Yes.
 Cowboy:  Mind if I speak to him?
 Rancher: I know the dog spoke to you, but I know for a
          fact that horses can't talk.
 Cowboy:  Well then what would it hurt? 
 Rancher: Go right ahead.

Cowboy to horse:
 Cowboy:  Hello.
 Horse:   Hello.

Rancher can't believe it.

He stands there with his jaw wide open.

 Cowboy:  Is that your owner?
 Horse:   Yup, sure is.
 Cowboy:  He treat you OK?
 Horse:   Sure, he rides me every day, brushes me down at
          the end of the day, and he keeps me in the barn 
          away from the elements.
 Cowboy:  Sounds good. (turns to the rancher) are those your
          sheep out here?

Rancher is beside himself:
 Rancher: Th-Th-Th-Them sheep out there, they're nuttin but
          a bunch of liars!!
