Heard about an old cowboy who was asked his views on life by the local paper. He was over a hundred years old and had been one of the "original" pioneers in the area. This is supposed to be his response.

"There's three kindsa folks. There're them that learns about mistakes from books and from other folks and learns from 'em; they's about 2% of the people. And then there's them folks that learns from their own mistakes; they're about 3% of the folks. The rest of us jist keep pissin' in our boots."

The paper didn't print the interview.
