My Roy Rogers one:

Roy's having a drink in a bar and a breathless cowboy rushes in: "Roy, Roy! You gotta come quick! Bandits have attacked your homestead. They raped and murdered your wife, left the kids for dead, burned down your house and barn, and ran off all your cattle. All he rest of the livestock they shot and left to rot.

Roy stifles a manly tear and stands with steely determination. "OK boys! who's coming with me to catch these rats?"
"We're with you, Roy!" comes the unanimous cry.

Roy and the posse saddle up, Just as they're about to part one of the townsfolk shouts, "Roy, Roy! Before you go ... give us a song!"

>Here's a similar one:
>
>A mountain lion is terrorizing a small ranching town, killing cattle and threatening humans. The town decides to hire Roy Rogers to catch the mountain lion.
>
>Roy rides into town wearing a fancy dude cowboy outfit and a pair of brand-new alligator boots he's really proud of. He heads off into the hills, but staggers back into town later that day, all scratched up and bleeding. Worst of all, though, is that his new boots are ruined, covered with teeth marks.

>A young boy gets mad and decides to get even with the mountain lion, so, amid protests from the townfolk, he heads off into the hills. A few hours later, he comes back into town, dragging the dead mountain lion behind him.

>One of the townspeople looks at Roy and says (you have to sing this part fast):
>
>"Pardon me, Roy, was that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"

>(Commence groaning).
