One Sunday a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he
and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked the
cowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach. The cowboy said,
"I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one
showed up, I'd feed him."

So the minister began his sermon.

One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The
preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he
liked the sermon. The cowboy answered slowly,

"Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only
one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay."
