A young fellow at the state fair stood watching an old Indian. Above the
old Indian was a sign that read, -$5.00 - If I can't tell you where
you're from, I'll pay you $50.00!"

The young man watched a cowboy approach the Indian and ask, "Is the sign
right?"

The Indian says, "yes."

The cowboy hands him a five and says, "you're on!"

The Indian looks the cowboy up and down, noticing some cow dung on his
boots and flatly states, "you're from Wyoming."

The cowboy shakes his head and says, "I'll be darned! You're right!" and
strolls away.

A second cowboy approaches the Indian and goes through the same
routine. Handing him the fiver, he stands and watches as the Indian
looks him up and down and notices a bit of straw and cow dung on his
boots.

The Indian says, "you're from Montana!"

The cowboy, dejected as all get out, walks away.

The young man decides he's going to give the Indian a run for the
money. He goes into the mensroom, takes his boots off, scrubs them up,
dries them off, puts on a coat of polish and approaches the Indian. He
hands the Indian a five dollar bill and says, "do your stuff!"

The Indian looks and looks, up and down, and appears to be befuddled.
The young man is now thinking he's gone one up on the Indian.

The Indian says, "You're from Arkansas!"

The young man gets really upset and can't for the life of him figure out
how the Indian could know that, so he asks, "How in the world did you
know I'm from Arkansas?"

The Indian replies, "by the wool on your zipper."
