A little boy was spending his vacation at his grandmother's house in Wyoming. This was the first time in his life that he had seen real cowboys, and he couldn't control his excitement. He blurted out, "Look, Grandma, those cowboys are bowlegged!" The grandmother, being a very genteel lady, was deeply embarrassed by his rough language. She dragged her grandson home and worked all day on improving his vocabulary. The next day, the boy was eager to show that he had learned his lesson. As they passed by a group of cowboys, the boy remarked, "Grandma, what manner of men are these who wear their legs in parentheses!"
