The Rustler

A cowboy story…

 

A tall, weather-worn cowboy walked into a saloon and ordered a beer.

The regulars quietly observed the drifter through half-closed eyelids.

No one spoke, but they all noticed that the stranger's hat was made of brown wrapping paper.

Less obvious was the fact that his shirt and vest were also made of paper.

As were his chaps, pants and even his boots, including the paper spurs.

Truth be told, even the saddle, blanket and bridle on his horse were made entirely of paper.

The sheriff walks in and of course he arrests him immediately -- for rustling.
