50+ Stampede-Causing, Crazy-Funny Cowboy Jokes And Puns
Howdy, partners! When you think of cowboys, you probably think of roping steer or blazing a trail through a rattlesnake-infested desert. While we doubt life on the range in the Wild West was full of fun and laughs, the word “cowboy” and the various accouterments they traveled with tend to make for some pretty hilarious cowboy jokes and puns. And knowing a little more history about these rugged ranch types gives the laughs a little more depth. So, we decided to wrangle up a few interesting facts for you.
Did you know that many cowboys were actually former Civil War soldiers from both sides of the war? It’s true. Unlike many westerns, cowboys weren’t solitary creatures, either. Nope. Instead, they traveled in groups of three to five, working together to herd cattle across whatever terrain they encountered. They took a cook with them, and each night that cook was in charge of turning the wagon toward the north star so they’d know which way to head out in the morning. Because cooks kept their cowboys fed and going in the right direction, most cowboys considered the cooks to be the real heroes. And those cowboy hats? They didn’t just protect our horsemen from the sun. Those hats were also used to scoop water from streams so that they could water their horses and grab a drink for themselves. From their chaps to their kerchiefs, nothing a cowboy wore was just for decoration: Everything served a purpose.
So, you see? There’s a lot more to cowboys than boots and spurs. Whether you’re on the farm, dreaming of the more nomadic life on the range, or simply entertaining your own little cowpoke around the dinner table, these cowboy jokes are sure to help you get along (little doggy).
