A tip to the hat to a friend who sent this. Something to think over. Obama said that anyone who posts this is a r****t.........so to avoid offending anyone ~ if you are a Muslim/Islam supporter, PLEASE DO NOT READ.


Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport lounge in Bozeman , Montana , awaiting their flights. One is an American Indian, passing thru from Lame Deer. Another is a cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show. And the third is a fundamentalist Arab student from the Middle East, newly arrived at Montana State University .

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around and the old windsock is flapping, but still no plane comes.

Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly speaks. “At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, “Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?”


The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth, and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl, “That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'".

Good one, though I disagree.

When I was a kid back in the early 50s, I was the only one who choose to be an injun and the rest of the tribe lost in "rock, paper, scissors" to be my fellow warriors. Hollywood was still producing films depicting the native American as a savage. Do-right John Wayne was slaughtering them and the Japs by the tens of thousands. Red and Yellow were not Crayola colors but identifiable enemies of White America. Like it or not, ISIS has a legitimate grievance. This by no means excuses their savage actions. But in a hundred years, America might be the injuns in an ISIS premiere.

This was humor, not intended to draw people into a discussion on the evils of childhood play. I too played cowboy and Indians, I was always the cowboy that got burned at the stake. It was running around on warm evenings, laughing and hiding behind trees. We did not see the evil of paying. It took modern people to make childhood playing out side with real friends into a evil thing to do. Now we have children playing video games of Final Combat, Carmageddon, Soldier of Fortune, Postal 1 and 2... which is better? Running around and yelling...both exercise, or sitting on their behinds in front of a computer screen?

Had enough

So funny I had to share this with my family. They all thought this story hilarious. Thank you.

Thank you. It was sent to me and I wanted to share as a joke. Nothing intended to be mean or as implied by another, h**eful. Just a laugh.

I know, and have known a lot of 'cowboys.' I mean the real deal guys/gals. They would all find this hilarious!! They are a rough n tough lot for sure!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Alright already. No more humor. I get it.

Let us all gather around and whine, complain, take cheap shots at one another; but let us by all means leave humor off the table! Above all, let us praise Islam and their compassionate ways of living in harmony with Christians and Jews.

Thanks Archie,

rumitoid, I know that the people of the middle eastern countries may have a lot of gripes about the way they have been treated by oil co's. and some within our government. but that is not their point. as far as they are concerned we are the sons and daughters of satan. we are to be k**led. that's all they want. to rid the world of infidels!

Very.good point. . I played a lot of it with a cap pistol. It was the best of times.
After becoming an adult, I never packed a pistol. Then I came upon a very dangerous situation with my family of 3 kids in danger. Never been with out one since.
