OK Ruthie, if you want to edit it or lose it, just fine by me but this was way to funny to keep to myself!!!
The origin of chapstick
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 his horse, lifted its 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 toward the swinging 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" was the reply.
"And that cures them?" the sheriff asked.
"Nope, just keeps me from lickin 'em."
