On his way to Wyoming for a visit with his grandmother, Billy spotted a bowlegged cowboy walking down the sidewalk.

"Grandma, is that a bowlegged cowboy?" Billy enquired.

His grandmother chastised him telling him to mind his manners and speak better.

The next time in town, Billy proclaimed "Look Grandma, there's a bowlegged cowboy."

This time Grandmother set a task for Billy to read Shakespeare for the entire weekend.

On the next visit to town when Bill saw a group cowboys he tugged his grandmother's elbow, and sheepishly remarked

"Behold! What manner of men are these, who wear their legs in parenthesis?"
