Ventriloquist

A ventriloquist cowboy walked into town and saw a rancher sitting on his porch with his dog:

Cowboy: 'Hey, cool dog. Mind if I speak to him?'

Rancher: 'This dog don't talk!'

Cowboy: 'Hey dog, how's it going?'

Dog: 'Doin alright'

Rancher: (Extreme look of shock)

Cowboy: 'Is this your owner? (pointing at rancher)'

Dog: 'Yep.'

Cowboy: 'How's he treat you?'

Dog: 'Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and takes me to the lake once a week to play.'

Rancher: (Look of disbelief)

Cowboy: 'Mind if I talk to your horse?'

Rancher: 'Horses don't talk!'

Cowboy: 'Hey horse, how's it goin?'

Horse: 'Cool.'

Rancher: (an even wilder look of shock)

Cowboy: 'Is this your owner?' (pointing at rancher)

Horse: 'Yep.'

Cowboy: 'How's he treat you?'

Horse: 'Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often, and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements.'

Rancher: (total look of amazement)

Cowboy: 'Mind if I talk to your SHEEP?'

Rancher: (stuttering, and hardly able to talk)...... 'Th-Th-Them sheep ain't nothin but liars!!!'
