A rough looking cowboy finished his drinking at a saloon and got up to leave. A moment later, he came back inside with a mean look in his eye and announced, "I'm going to sit down and have one more whiskey. If my horse ain't back where I left it, I'm gonna do what I done in Texas. And I really don't wanna do what I done back in Texas!"

The men around the saloon eyed each other warily, and a few people got up and left quickly.

True to his word, he sat down, ordered another drink, and sipped at his last shot of whiskey. Once he was finished, he stood and walked outside. Sure enough, his horse was tied up right where he left it. Just as he was about to ride off, one of the other patrons timidly asked, "Mister? What was it you done did in Texas?"

The cowboy got a far off look in his eyes and said with bitterness, "I had to walk."
