I just heard this one, and someone said it might have been on the
net recently, but I sure didn't see it, and the worst thing that
happens is that someone else that hasn't seen it sees it and sends
it back to the net and, and, uh, ... well, ... here it is anyway...

Truncated format:
A drunken cowboy is captured by the indians, and after interrogation
is sentenced to be burned at the stake at midnight.  10:30 PM rolls
around and a flash of inspiration prompts the cowboy to ask if it
is all right to say goodbye to his horse.  The indians feel this is
just fine;  the cowboy spends a few minutes with the horse, and then
whispers something into the horse's ear.  The horse bolts off into the
night, stranding the cowboy and making the indians a bit uneasy.

At about 11:30 PM, the horse rides back into camp with the most beautiful
women one can imagine riding bareback.  The woman slips off the horse and
procedes to convince the indians that they really didn't want to take all
that time to BBQ a paleface that night.  The cowboy's execution is thus
stayed 24 hours.

The next night, again at 10:30, the cowboy asks if he can say goodbye
to his horse again.  The indians *wholeheartedly* agree (smart indians!)
The cowboy walks up to the horse and whispers:



	"Watch my lips this time, you idiot!!!  Go out there 
		and bring back a posse!"
