Subject: The Lone Ranger- CAPTURED! Date: 22 Nov 96 16:41:38 EST From: "Robert L. Eppens" <75331.2533@CompuServe.COM> To: BlindCopyReceiver:; Listen carefully! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Lone Ranger is captured by hostile Indians. Tonto quickly switches sides. The Indian chief says, "We give you two requests and let you live two days! Then we burn you at the stake." The Lone Ranger quickly pulls himself together. He is, after all, who he is. "All right," he says. "My first request..." And he calls Silver over to him and whispers something in his trusted mount's ear. Whereupon Silver runs off like a scalded dog. "Whoooo-ah!" cry the hostiles in utter hilarity. "Kemo-sabi! Hi-yo, Silver! Ah-hahahaha!" But suddenly the laughter is cut short. Because here comes a thunder of hooves- Silver reappears! And on his back, lightly beaded with perspiration and wearing a loose gingham gown that clings to her damp bosom and thighs, is the most voluptuous woman ever seen around those parts. "Hmmm," says the chief, "Lone Ranger a great warrior. Train horse well. Tonight, Lone Ranger take Twisted Snake's teepee." The Lone Ranger retires to the teepee with the woman, and the next morning he comes out looking refreshed, on one level, but still clearly aware that he is in a jam. The woman appears in a moment, looking radiant. (Her name is Gwyneth Louise and she is not about to stayed cooped up in a teepee with a punch line coming.) "Lone Ranger look refreshed on one level," says the chief. "Heh heh. But we still burn you at the stake. One more day. One more request." The masked man calls Silver over to him again. Again he puts his lips close to the great horse's ear. "Damn it, Silver," he whispers. "I said POSSE." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
