It just dawned on me that this might be the perfect opportunity to put a bunch of other heads together on this nagging question....
About 23+ years ago (OK, That rules a bunch of you out...) there was this audio sketch by these guys (and
who they were is what I can't remember) who were playing two cow pokes out on the range. One of them was named "Zeke" and it went something like this:
In reply to:
Cowboy 1: "Zeke, DON'T move!"
Zeke: "Why?"
Cowboy 1: "You're sitting smack dab on a diamond back rattler!"
Zeke: "Plumb on em?"
Cowboy 1: "Smack dab, plumb on him."
Zeke: "Oh, heh. Sure enough...don't worry though it's just old Floyd" (rattle sound) "Ya know, when he goes, I'm gonna make me a wallet out of him..."
...and on from there. As I recall it the whole thing was pretty funny, but I just can't remember who it was that did that--or what it was called for that matter.
So if any of you know from whence that came, I would be much obliged pardner!
