In the days of the Wild West, there was a young cowboy who wanted more

>
> Sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, he recognized an elderly man

> The old man looked him up and down and said, "Well, for one thing,

>
> "Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.

> "Sure will," replied the old-timer.

> The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out his 44 and shot

> "That's terrific!" said the hot shot. "Got any more tips for me?"

> "You bet it will," said the old-timer.

> "Wow!" exclaimed the cowboy. "I'm learnin' somethin' here.. Got any more

>
> The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. "See that

>
> "No," said the old-timer, "I mean smear it all over the gun, handle and

>
> "Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.
