Nevada Bob: Home Sweet Home In Winnemucca, Plus a Few Cowboy Jokes

Nevada Bob Hat Trick
This past year I've been occasionally sharing Gary Firstenberg photos from his travels with Nevada Bob. 10 days ago or so Bob arrived in Nevada and he's finally back home on the range. Here are a few photos from the last leg of their journey. For the fun of it, because Nevada Bob has made it a point to enjoy life himself, I have interspersed the photos with cowboy jokes.

Q. Why did everybody think the cowboy was so funny?

A: Because he was always horsing around.


Q. If a cowboy rides into town on Friday and three days later, leaves on Friday, how does he do it?

A. The horse’s name is Friday!


Q. What illness can cowboys catch from their horses?

A. Bronc-itis.


A cowboy is riding on his horse in a desert. Suddenly, he sees a man lying down with his ear to the ground.

The man: “A carriage. Six horses. Three black, two brown, and one white."

The cowboy: “Wow! You can hear all of that?!

The man: “No, they just ran me over.”


Q. What do you call a retired old cowboy?

A. De-ranged.


Q. What do you call a dinosaur wearing a cowboy hat and boots? 

A. Tyrannosaurus Tex!



Q. A cowboy asked me if I could help round up 18 cows.

A. I replied "Of course, that'll be 20 cows"

A young cowboy walks into a dirty old Cafe in Montana.

He takes a seat at the counter and notices an old cowboy next to him with his arms crossed staring blankly at a full bowl of meaty chili.

A few minutes go by and the young cowboy gets the courage to speak up "Sir, if you ain't gonna eat that would you mind if I did?"

"It's all yours friend," says the older cowboy.

The young man slides the bowl to himself and starts spooning the delicious chili into his mouth.

He gets near the bottom of the bowl and notices that there is a dead mouse in the chili.

He immediate throws up all the chili back into the bowl and looks over at the old cowboy next to him who says "Yeah that's about as far as I got too."

Laughter is good medicine, they say. I borrowed the jokes from these two sites, if you would like to find more:

More Photos from the Nevada Bob Road Show

Last week I shared a bit about Nevada Bob's journey to Nashville and his travels to points of interest in the Deep South, documented by photographer Gary Firstenberg. They two have been to so many interesting places since that I decided to share more photos "from the road." (The other reason is that I have been working on some longer pieces that take more time to assemble, time which I've not had available due to other commitments.)

Hard to say, but it may be that Bob is on a Never Ending Tour of his own.
