A Tale of the Old West...kind of....

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were in a bar when a cowboy came in and hollered,

"Hey, anybody got a white horse parked outside?!"

The Lone Ranger looked up from his beer and said,

"Yeah, pardner, it's mine, why?" said the Lone Ranger.
"Well," the cowpoke said, "that noon sun is beatin' down on that thar horse and he looks like he's gonna pass out!"

With some concern, the Lone Ranger said,

"Thanks, pardner, I'll go put him in the shade if I can find some.
"No, Kemo Sabe," said Tonto, "me go run around Silver, wave arms in air, make fan, keep Silver cool."
"Well, thanks, Tonto," said the Lone Ranger as Tonto headed for the door.

About five minutes later, another cowboy came into the saloon and shouted,

"Hey, anybody got a white horse out front?"

"Yeah, pardner, it's mine, why?" asked the Lone Ranger.

"You left your injun running!" the fellow replied.

Crawling Down Memory Lane

There was a live kiddie cartoon show on from 4 to 5, Monday thru Friday, on Channel 13 out of Newark in the late 40's and early 50's that featured terrible silent cartoons starring Farmer Gray, a cat, and tons of mice...the show was called Junior Frolics, hosted by "Uncle Fred" Sayles... after sending in enough boxtops from cereal or something, I got to be on the show...my mother took us down to the station by bus from East Orange and we got there pretty early and I wanted to sit right next to Uncle Fred and whoever she talked to put me there...then the show started and out came this mostly bald guy in a shiny blue suit who announced that Uncle Fred was sick and he was subbing for him...then he sat right down next to me...with a really bad case of  nervous armpit odor mixed with stale cigarette stench...all I remember is he had a silver pinky ring with a fake blue star sapphire in it...when we got home, my grandmother was really mad at me because she said I had sat there for the whole hour with a pissed-off frown on my face....it would have been different if UNCLE FRED had been there! If you want to see how bad those early black-and-white cartoons were, Google UNCLE FRED JUNIOR FROLICS on YouTube and you should get a cartoon called "The Life of a Cat."
