Heard about the rancher that put an ad in the newspaper - looking for a stock man?

A young kid shows up, wearing sandals, cut-offs, a tank-top with cutout sleeves, and several tatoos.

Rancher takes one look and thinks "This for shore ain't no cow hand."

Kid tells him, "I'm about the best hand you're gonna find in these parts. I can do anything you need done around the ranch."

Rancher thinks, "Well, I ain't had many takers show up for this job. I suppose I oughta see what this kid can do." So he tells the kid "Go over in the barn and saddle up horse. Then come out here to this corral, and cut out one of them steers, and brand him. If you can do all that, I'll think about givin' you a job."

So the kid goes back to the barn and saddles up the biggest, meanest horse he can find there. He grabs himself a rope off the barn wall, and rides the snorter out, jumps the fence, cuts out the meanest lookin' steer in the corral, throws him down, brands him, cuts him loose, hops back on the horse and trots back over to the rancher.

The ranchers is pretty impressed, but he can't help commenting:
"That's a pretty good piece of work, but you sure don't look like a cowboy.
Ya got no cowboy boots, you ain't even got no decent bluejeans.
You ain't wearin' a belt, let alone havin' a proper fancy belt buckle.
Cain't even call what your wearing a proper shirt, let alone it ain't got pockets with little flaps on ta keep things from fallin out.
And ya ain't even got no hat, let alone a proper Stetson."

The kid says "Hey, if ya wanted a truck driver ya shoulda mentioned it in the ad.
