Beni: Look! Alice: EEK! Dill: My brother gave me his old cowboy boots! Beni & Alice: Oh. Beni: Cowboys moseyed because of ill fitting shoes. Alice: I thought he was being Frankenstein.
A rancher in my Toastmasters club once commented on all the men walking funny during Cheyenne Frontier Days because they hadn’t worn their boots in the last 51 weeks.

It is really embarrassing to loose a boot whilst roping calves(or even goats).
