* A tourist was driving through Jackson Hole, Wyoming and saw some ranch hands driving cows along the highway. One of cowboys wore a baseball cap. The curious greenhorn woman pulled up alongside the cowboy and asked, “Why aren’t you wearing a cowboy hat?” “Well ma’am,” said the cowboy, tugging on the hat’s brim, “I didn’t want to look like a truck driver.”

* I was in a mess. My career as an artist was going nowhere, my horseback riding was no longer fulfilling, and in general I felt unattractive. My husband did his best to be supportive: “You’re a great artist, “you’re a wonderful equestrian, “you’re the most beautiful woman I know”. One day, after another bad ride I told him, “My horse is depressed. How do I cheer up a horse?” I asked. He shared his secret: “Tell her she’s a great horse and that she looks beautiful.”

@ Closing out my account with a local credit union, the teller had me sign some forms and then handed me a check for the balance. I told her I would like to cash it immediately. “Oh, no,” she replied. “You don’t have an account here.”
