| An elderly couple, Dave and Bessie, are vacationing in the West. Dave always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots. Seeing some on sale one day, he buys them, wears them home, walking proudly. He walks into their room and says to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?" Bessie looks him over, "Nope." Dave says excitedly, "Come on Bessie, take a good look. Notice anything different about me?" Bessie looks again, "Nope." Frustrated Dave storms off into the bathroom, undresses, and walks back into the room, wearing only his boots, saying a little louder this time, "Notice anything DIFFERENT NOW?" Bessie looks up and says, "Dave, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow." Furious, Dave yells, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT IS HANGING DOWN, BESSIE? IT'S HANGING DOWN BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!" To which Bessie replies, "Shoulda bought a hat, Dave. You shoulda bought a hat." |
