This cowboy has been out on the range running cattle for weeks when he brings the herd into dodge city and heads straight for the saloon.
He walks in with a thirst in his throat and a hunger in his belly. the place is dead, the bar tender is cleaning glasses and the piano man is snoozing and the only patron is a sad looking old man sitting at the bar looking with depressed glassy eyes into a steaming bowl of chili.
the cowboy walks over to the old man noticing his sadness and says "Hey old timer, you going to eat that?"
the old man looks at the cowboy and says "nope - help yourself."
so the cowboy hungrily wolfs down the chili spoon full after spoon full until he is half way to the bottom of the big bowl and notices a dead and half rotted maggot infested mouse right there in the mix.
"oh my god!!" he exclaims and then pukes every bit of the chili back into the bowl.
the sad old timer looks at the cowboy and says ...
"DONT FEEL BAD SONNY... THATS AS FAR AS I GOT TOO"
