Subject: Cowboy Story

A Texan, a guy from Illinois, and a Michiganian are riding horses out on the range. The Texan, just to show off, pulls an expensive bottle of whiskey out of his saddlebag, takes a couple drinks, throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it in midair. The guy from Illinois is shocked and asks "What are you doing? That's a perfectly
good bottle of whiskey!" The Texan replies, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap!"

A little while later, not wanting to be outdone, the guy from Illinois pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few sips, throws the bottle into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it, just like the Texan. The guy from Michigan can't believe it. "What are you doing? That was a very expensive bottle of champagne!" With a wink to the Texan he says "In
Chicago, there's plenty of champagne and bottles are cheap."

About 15 minutes later, the Michiganian pulls out a bottle of beer. He opens it and takes a sip. Then chugs the rest of the bottle. He then places the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulls out his gun and shoots the guy from Illinois.

The Texan is visibly shaken. "What did you do that for?!?!" And the Michiganian says, "Well, in Michigan, we have plenty of people from Illinois, and bottles are returnable."
