The Baptist Cowboy & The Flight Attendant

** The Baptist Cowboy
A cowboy who is visiting Wyoming from Nevada, walks into a bar and orders 3 mugs of beer. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finises them, he comes back to the bar and orders 3 more.

The bartender approaches and and tells the cowboy, 'You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.'

The cowboy replies, 'Well, you see, I have 2 brothers. One is in Arizona, the other is in Colorado. When we all left our home in Nevada, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself.'

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom. and leaves it there.

The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders 3 mugs and drinks them in turn.

One day, he comes in and only orders 2 mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar the second round, he bartender says, 'I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.'

The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs. 'Oh, no, everybody's just fine,' he explains, 'It's just that my wife and I joined the baptist Church and I had to quit drinking.' He took another sip.

'Hasn't affected my brothers though.'

** The Flight Attendant

A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767 had been withdrawn from service. An angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, 'I have to be on this flight and it has to be first class.'

The attendant replied, 'I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out.'

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear. 'Do you have any idea who I am?'

Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone:

'May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please,' she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal.

'We have a passenger here at Gate number 14, who does not know who he is. If any of you can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14.'

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, 'F*** You.'

Without flinching, she smiled and said, 'I'm sorry, Sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too.'
