The Lone Ranger and Tonto, hot and exhausted from the trail, walked into a bar and sat down to have a beer. After a few minutes a cowboy walks in and, in a loud voice, asks “Who owns the big white horse tied up out front?”

Expecting a fight, the Lone Ranger stands and says, “That’s my horse, Silver. Who are you and why do you want to know?”

The cowboy shrugs and says, “I’m just the man telling you that your horse is near death and needs some water.”

After thanking the cowboy, the Lone Ranger rushes outside with Tonto not far behind. Sure enough, Silver is not looking too good. The Lone Ranger gets a bucket of water and pours some of it over the horse and gives him the rest to drink. Feeling the hot stale air, he asks Tonto if he’d run around Silver for a while to create a breeze. Tonto replies, “Can do, Kemosabe,” and starts running in circles around Silver.

With Silver looking a little better and thinking there wasn’t much else he could do, the Lone Ranger ambles back into the bar and sits down.

A couple minutes later another cowboy comes in and asks, “Who owns the big white horse tied up outside?”

“That’d be me, and my horse’s name is Silver. What’s wrong now?”

The cowboy replies, “Mister, you left your injun running.”
