You Know You're A Stressed-Out Cowboy When:
* You start talking to your dog in the front seat -- asking for advice.
* Somebody mentions drinking from the bottle -- you think of Maalox.
* You wake up at 3 a.m. and wonder if you have time to brew a cup of coffee before getting started.
* You have an attack of road rage, between your house and the barn.
* Your favorite horse starts to act like a horse with 20 days because you have sent enough mixed signals in the last 15 minutes to undue six years of training.
* You sit in your favorite recliner for the first time in months, and watch TV for a couple of hours -- too tired to get up and turn it on.
* Every calf you see sunning itself is immediately assumed to be dead.
* You arrive at a social event and elect to sit in the driveway until the market report is over, even though you don't have any fats to market for 60 days.
* You entertain thoughts of a total dispersion and doubling your herd size at the very same time.
* Your wife suggests you take up chewing again, after persistently asking you to stop for 15 years prior to you finally quitting.
* You take your wife's advice, buy a can of chew and find out you can't open the darn thing because you no longer have fingernails.
* You put in a 40-hour week -- every day.
* You can recall the morning when ol' "810" was born, but have to call your mother to find out when your anniversary is and how long you've been married.
* You have the local renders phone number on speed dial, and they don't bother to ask for directions when you call.
* Fill in the blank.
