New Boots

An elderly cou­ple, Mar­garet and Bert, moved to Texas.

Bert always wanted a pair of authen­tic cow­boy boots, so, see­ing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.

Walk­ing proudly, he saun­tered into the kitchen and said to his wife, Notice any­thing dif­fer­ent about me?”

Mar­garet looked him over. “Nope.”

Frus­trated, Bert stormed off into the bath­room, undressed and walked back into the kitchen com­pletely naked except for the boots. Again he asked Mar­garet, a lit­tle louder this time, “Notice any­thing dif­fer­ent NOW?”

Mar­garet looked up and exclaimed, “Bert, what’s dif­fer­ent? It’s hang­ing down today, it was hang­ing down yes­ter­day, it’ll be hang­ing down again tomorrow!”

Furi­ous, Bert yelled, “AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT’S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?”

“Nope”, she replied.

“IT’S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT’S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!”

With­out chang­ing her expres­sion, Mar­garet replied, “Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat.”
