Cowboy Recipe

by Harvey Derrick

Start with a two-gallon mixing bowl.
3 Cups of ground granite stone
2 Cups of independence
1 Cup each of integrity, reliability, humility
1/2 Cup of kindness
1/4 Cup of free spirit
5 Teaspoons of humor
3 Teaspoons of orneriness
1 Teaspoon of sugar
1 Pint of gin-u-wine

Stir vigorously for ten minutes

Pour equal portions into a pair of western boots. Cover with a wide brimmed Stetson hat.

At sunrise, place outside in open air. When the sun sets, your Cowboy will be done.
