Summary: Thanks, reminded me of an old one.

[entire previous article deleted in interest of brevity]
Thanks for the Kermit joke, Shelli, it was good and it
reminded me of this one:

One day Roy Rogers went out to hunt down a wildcat that had
been killing calves on several of the nearby ranches.  He
rode to the site of the latest calf-killing and started to
track the big cat.  Soon the tracks led into the mountains
and over some rocky terrain, so Roy had to dismount and 
continue on foot.  After a couple  of hours of tracking, Roy
realized that it had been a big mistake to wear his brand new
boots, since they were really hurting his feet.  He sat down
on a rock to take them off, but before he could, the wildcat
he had been tracking jumped him from behind.  Roy was badly
bitten and clawed, but managed to escape when the wildcat 
smelled the new leather of his boots and started to claw and
chew on them.  Roy pulled his feet out and carefully and 
slowly crawled away.  He had to leave his rifle though because
it was under the cat.

Roy then walked back to his horse and rode back to the ranch.
When Dale saw how badly he was hurt, she immediately helped
Roy down off Trigger, into the house, into bed, and then she
sent Pat Brady off the get the doctor.  Roy was barely able
to tell Dale what had happened before he lost consciousness.
The doctor came and treated Roy's wounds, and Roy continued
to sleep for four days.

Suddenly Roy Rogers woke, climbed out of bed, dressed, got
another rifle out of the rack, staggered out of the house,
saddled Trigger, and rode off without a word to anyone, but
with a look of determination on his face.

He was gone for several days.  Dale Evans and Pat Brady had
gone out searching, but couldn't find him.  Then one evening
just at sunset, Roy came slowly riding back in.  There was a
dead wildcat tied across Trigger's back, and a pair of mangled
boots were swinging from the saddle horn.  Dale and Pat ran
out to see if he was ok.  As soon as Roy dismounted, Pat said,

"Pardon me, Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new boots??"
