A cowboy rides into a strange town and sees carpenters finishing work on a gallows.
He sees a guy tying up his horse in front of the saloon and calls, “Hey, are you folks gonna hang someone?” The guy nods. “Yup. We’re fixin’ to hang Brown Paper Larry.” The cowboy’s brow furrows. “How come he’s called Brown Paper Larry?” “Well,” says the guy, “the man always wears clothes made of brown paper. Brown paper shirts. Brown paper pants. Even brown paper socks.” The cowboy ponders this for a moment, then asks, “What are ya hangin’ him for?” “Rustling.” |
