Origin of Chap Stick

[Dragon-SC-]

An old cowhand came riding into town on a hot, dry, dusty day. The

local sheriff watched from his chair in front of the saloon as the cowboy

wearily dismounted and tied his horse to the rail a few feet in front of the

sheriff.

"Howdy, Stranger."

"Howdy, Sheriff."

The cowboy then moved slowly to the back of the horse, lifted his tail

and placed a big kiss where the sun don't shine. He dropped the horse's

tail, stepped up on the walk, and aimed towards the swing doors of the

saloon.

"Hold on there, Mister," said the Sheriff. "Did I just see what I think

I saw?"

"Reckon you did, Sheriff. I got me some powerful chapped lips."

"And does that cure them?" the Sheriff asked.


"Nope, but it keeps me from licking my lips.
