Something I’m a Little Chapped About

cowboy 1

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, 9,730 people currently work as livestock handlers (cowboys). Of these, 3,290 are listed in the subcategory of spectator sports, which includes rodeos and circuses.

That leaves roughly 6440 legit working cowboys. In other words, since the invention of barbed wire fences, there are several times as many dudes wearing cowboy hats as a singing costume than there are real cowboys.

Now just imagine they all chose to wear fireman helmets instead. THAT is how ridiculous they all actually look, except for our desensitization to it as something so commonplace.

In my opinion.
