[FLYING BANANA]

A cowboy walks into a bar and orders a drink. When the bartender delivers it, the cowboy looks around and notices the bar is completely deserted other than himself and the bartender:

"Where is everybody? This place is usually packed this time of day." The cowboy says.

The bartender replies. "They've gone to the hanging."

"Hanging? Who are they hanging?"

"Brown Paper Pete." Says the bartender.

"What kind of name is that? Why do they call him Brown Paper Pete?" The cowboy asks.

"Well." Says the bartender. "He wears a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper trousers and brown paper shoes."

"Weird guy." Says the cowboy. "What are they hanging him for?"

"Rustling." Says the bartender.
