Joke of the week [131 = year 3, #27] Brown Paper Pete (January 17 - January 23)

A cowboy walks into a bar and orders a whisky.
When the bartender delivers the drink, the cowboy asks,
"Where is everybody?"
The bartender replies, "They've gone to the hanging."
"Hanging? Who are they hanging?"
"Brown Paper Pete," the bartender replied.
"What kind of a name is that?" the cowboy asked.
"Well," says the bartender, "he wears a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper trousers and brown paper shoes."
"What's he hanging for?" asks the cowboy.
"Rustling^*)," answered the bartender.                                  [*) If you don't get this joke, look up the two meanings of the verb to rustle.]
