Why did the cowboy buy a dachshund?

Michael and his wife live in Minnesota. One winter morning while listening to WCCO, they hear the announcer say, “We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through.”
Michael’s wife goes out and moves her car.
A week later, while they were eating breakfast, the radio announcer says, “We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street so the snowplow can get through.” Michael’s wife goes out and moves her car again.
The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says, “We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park……”, then the electric power goes out. Michael’s wife is very upset and, with a worried look on her face, she says, “Honey, which side of the street do I need to park on so the plow can get through?”
Michael says, “Why don’t you just leave it in the garage this time.

“What dear?” she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.
“I’m beginning to think you’re bad luck.”

Two elderly, excited Southern women were sitting together in the front pew of the church listening to a fiery preacher. When this preacher condemned the sin of stealing, these two ladies cried out, “Amen, Brother!”
When the preacher condemned the sin of lust, they yelled again, “You preach it, Reverend!”
And when the preacher condemned the sin of lying, they jumped to their feet and hollered, “Tell it like it is.’’
But when the preacher condemned the sin of gossip, the two got very quiet. One turned to the other and said, “He’s quit preaching and now he’s just meddling.”

A man went to his lawyer and asked him, “My neighbor owes me $500 and he won’t pay up. What should I do?”
“Do you have any proof he owes you the money?” asked the lawyer.
“Nope,” replied the man.
“Okay, then write him a letter asking him for the $5,000 he owes you,” said the lawyer.
“But it’s only $500,” replied the man.
“Precisely. That’s what he will reply and then you’ll have your proof!”
