[Buddha-l] Evil Joke about underresented minority

[Jim Peavler]

I am probably the only cowboy on this list, but Benito's concern and  
Richard Hayes' and Stephen Hodge's rather lame chili jokes have  
emboldened me. So I offer a vicious joke about my own,  
underrepresented class, as a kind of penance. Notice it is about a  
Wyoming cowboy (one suspects these folks might be sheepherders -- 
Brokeback Mountain naturally springs to mind), not good honest cow  
pokin' Colorado or New Mexico cowboys.

Subject: Cowboy Chili

A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Laramie,
Wyoming. He sits at the counter and notices an old
Cowboy with his arms folded staring blankly at a full
Bowl of chili. After watching the old man stare at his
food for fifteen minutes the young cowboy asks the
Old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I
Do?"

The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the
young wrangler (probably sheep herder)  and in his
  best cowboy manner says, "Nah! , go ahead."

Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the
bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with
delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices
a dead mouse in the bottom of the bowl.

He immediately pukes up the chili into the bowl.

The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I
got, too.
