Joke of the Week 
This week's "Walks Into a Bar" joke:
 
A cowboy walks into a bar wearing a hat made of brown wrapping paper, a shirt and vest made of waxed paper, and chaps made of tissue paper.  Before the cowboy can even sit down, the bartender calls the sheriff, who comes in and immediately arrests the cowboy for rustling.
