The Origin of Chapstick

The old cowhand came riding into town on a hot dry, dusty day. The local sheriff watched from his leaned back chair in front of the saloon. The cowboy crawled off his horse and tied it to the rail a few feet in front of the sheriff.

"Howdy Stranger..."

"Howdy Sheriff..."

The cowboy then shuffled to the backend of his horse, lifted its tail, and planted a big ol kiss where the sun don't shine. Then headed for the swinging doors ahead.

"Hold on Mister...."

The cowboy stops and "Sheriff?"

"Did I just see what I thought I saw?"

"Yea, I reckon you did. I got some powerful chapped lips."

"And that cures them?" the sheriff asked.

"Nope....but it sure keeps me from lickin my lips."
