In a tough mining town saloon in the Old West, a dozen cowboys start talking about entertainment. The cowboys sitting around the bar want to see who is willing to perform the grossest, most disgusting act for $100. The first guy says he'll eat the horse crap off one of the cowboy's boots. The next guy says he'll let 3 of the cowboys pee in a pitcher, and then drink it. The last guy says he'll let all 12 cowboys spit their chew into an already half-filled spitoon, and then he'll drink a mouthful. The guys at the bar take a vote, and the last guy wins, hands down. So the spitoon is passed, and they all hawk up huge loogies and spit into the brass container. When they are done, the contestant lifts the spitoon to his lips, and starts pouring a distusting mix of spit, chewing tobacco, and general goobers into his mouth. He then swallows that mouthful of filth, and the cowboys cheer and throw their money down on the bar. But the guy continues to chug from the spitoon for several more minutes. The cowboys go from laughing, to disgust, to puking themselves. Finally, the guy finishes. One of the cowboys says to him, ""Why did you keep chugging those loogies after you won the bet???"" The guy responds, ""It was one long strand.""
