Cowboys

I am always amazed that when people come to the Dallas area, they expect to see real, live Cowboys. Let me fill you in on a secret: just because Dallas is in Texas does not mean we have handsome men in chaps, spurs, and a cowboy hat walking down every street.  In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a person like that in Dallas proper.  Now, go outside the city limits, past the suburbs just a bit, and yeah.  You'll find lots of those real, live cowboys.

However, those are not the cowboys this post is about.  This post is about the only true "Cowboy" in Dallas, er, Arlington now, but what's the dif? ;)

Okay, so there's a big difference, but that's not what this post is about either. The Dallas Cowboys have gotten so bad, that now when people gather around the water cooler to talk about "America's Favorite Team" it is to share jokes like these:

• The Texas State Police are cracking down on speeders heading into Dallas. For the first offense, they give you 2 Dallas Cowboy tickets. If you get stopped a second time, they make you use them.

• What do you call 47 millionaires around a TV watching the Super Bowl?  The Dallas Cowboys

• How do you keep a Dallas Cowboy out of your yard?   Put up a goal post.

• What do you call a Dallas Cowboy with a Super Bowl ring?   Old

• What's the difference between the Dallas Cowboys and a dollar bill?   You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill.

• What do the Cowboys and a possum have in common?   Both play dead at home and get killed on the road!
