A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen.
He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking, and fired a shot into the ceiling. "Which one of you sidewinders stole my hoss!!?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.
No one answered.
"Alright, I'm gonna have anotha beer, an' if my hoss ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! An' I don't wanna hafta to what I dun in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The cowboy had another beer, walked outside, and his horse was back.
He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."
