The little woman just insulted my hat.<br />
Boy, I hate that. So I looked in the mirror,<br />
and by George I think she’s right. It really<br />
doesn’t look all that good. Now, this<br />
wasn’t my town hat….just for the record.<br />
This was the ol’ work one. We’ve been<br />

through a lot together, that old hat and<br />
me. It’s hard to tell how many times it’s<br />
been stomped in the manure, most of the<br />
time still containin’ my noggin. I got to<br />
wonderin’ if my head looks as bad as it<br />
does. Thank goodness that heads heal<br />
up. It’s sure too bad that hats don’t.<br />
In this modern world full o’ drugstore<br />

harder to come by. One of the ways you<br />

can tell a real cowboy is by their hat. Oh,<br />
they don’t all look the same that’s for sure,<br />
but it has to do with the way they wear<br />
‘em. You’ll very rarely see a real cowboy<br />
chasing their hat. I don’t care if there’s a<br />
forty mile an hour Chinook wind blowin’,<br />
his ol’ sky piece will be right where she<br />
belongs.<br />
The secret here is to pull ‘er down over<br />
the knot. Every real cowboy has at least<br />
one or two knots on their head, which is<br />
why the hats get to lookin’ a little rough<br />
after while. I’ve got several spots that<br />
have taken stitches through the years, and<br />
several more that should have. I feel very<br />
fortunate that there isn’t any real evidence<br />
of drain bramage.<br />
My favorite knot for keepin’ my hat on<br />
is sort of on the south west corner of my<br />

head. I got that one at a rodeo in Malta<br />
about a hundred years ago. The show was<br />
over, and I was walking across the<br />
grounds when I got freight trained from<br />
the back by a bronc that happened to<br />
escape out of an open gate. Who else<br />
but me could get run over by a buckin’<br />
horse in a parkin’ lot?<br />
He started walkin’ on the back of my<br />
boots and then kept on a goin’ up my<br />
back where he did a little dance on the<br />
back of my head before headin’ for the<br />
Missouri breaks. That one still sticks out<br />
good enough to keep a hat where she<br />
belongs.<br />
There are several other ways to tell a<br />
real cowboy, too. One is by their tan line.<br />
It starts about an inch above their<br />
eyebrows and ends around three inches<br />
south of their chin. Other than a pair of<br />
tanned scarred up old hands, the rest of<br />
‘em looks sort of like the belly on a fish. I<br />
saw one ol’ boy get talked into gettin’ into<br />
a pair of those Bermuda shorts. Now that<br />
was a sight to behold. Those skinny little<br />
white bow legs were somethin’. Someone<br />
hollered at him, “Are those really yer legs,<br />
or are you standin’ on a chicken?”<br />
I just found out something that will take<br />
a little more checkin’ out, but if it holds<br />
true with a little more measuring, we finally<br />
may have a sure fire way to tell a real<br />
