New boots

Subject: New boots

Bert, age 80, always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots;

so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home .

Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife,

"Notice anything different about me ?"

Margaret, age 75, looked him over. "Nope ."

Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked

back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots .

Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time,

"Notice anything different NOW ?"

Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan ,

"Bert , you ask - 'what's different'?     It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday,

and it'll be hanging down again tomorrow ."

Furious, Bert yelled,  "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN MARGARET?"

"Nope.    Not a clue"  she replied .

"IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS !!!!"

Without missing a beat Margaret replied, "Shoulda bought a hat Bert, shoulda bought a hat!"
