“The Code of the West was a gentleman’s agreement to certain rules of conduct. It was never written into the statutes, but it was respected everywhere on the range. ” — Ramon F. Adams. “A man’s got to have a code, a creed to live by, no matter his job.” — John Wayne.

Looking at the height of the fence to the left, the Code of the West seems to operate on the honour system.

A real cowboy wouldn’t have to look it up (and especially wouldn’t have someone else look it up for them). They would just know the code.

In these times, I would guess his password for this would be GUNS!

Code 1849.

That is one fat-@ssed horse.

“Welcome to the West” — now there’s a Ranger Doug song I haven’t heard in a while!

That smell must be the horse rootin’-tootin’ again.

The code of the west has been compromised.
