A couple from the east decided to vacation out west and visited a dude ranch. During the stay the tenderfoot felt that he had observed the horse riders and would be able to ride one himself. He mounted the horse and a moment later painfully picked himself out of the dust in one corner of the corral.

"Man, oh man," he said. "She sure bucked something fierce!"

"Bucked," said a nearby cowpoke, "Rats, she just coughed."
