Some years ago in Montana I showed up at the foreman's trailer to apply for a job. His phone rang as soon as I got there, and he answered it in the kitchen. His 3-year-old boy walks in, looks up at me standing there holding my hat:

"Are you a cowboy?"

Well, I don't know. What's a cowboy?

"Ya got a cowboy hat?"

Well, yeah...

"Ya got cowboy boots?"

Again, yeah...

"Ya got a gun?

Yeah...

"Can ya ride a horse?"

Well, yeah. Does that make me a cowboy?

At this point his face screwed up into about as many wrinkles as a toddler can produce, then he brightened up and asked, "Do ya got a horse?"

Well, no, I don't have a horse.

"You're not a cowboy!!!"

Maybe not, but I was hired by the daddy listening through the door!
