Barrel Racing Joke

ChasnCans · 08-28-2008, 04:43 PM

Two 90-year-old women, Rose and Barb, had been friends all of their lives. When it was clear that Rose was dying, Barb visited her every day. One day Barb said, 'Rose, we both loved barrel racing all our lives, and we rode until we could hardly walk. Please do me one favor: When you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's barrel racing there.' Rose looked up at Barb from her deathbed, 'Barb, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you.' Shortly after that, Rose passed on. At midnight a couple of nights later, Barb was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, 'Barb, Barb.' 'Who is it?' asked Barb, sitting up suddenly. 'Who is it?' 'Barb -- it's me, Rose.' 'You're not Rose. Rose just died.' 'I'm telling you, it's me, Rose,' insisted the voice. 'Rose! Where are you?' 'In Heaven,' replied Rose. 'I have some really good news and a little bad news.' 'Tell me the good news first,' said Barb. 'The good news,' Rose said, 'is that there's barrel racing in Heaven. Better yet, all of our horses who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always summer, and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can ride all we want, and our horses never get tired.' 'That's fantastic,' said Barb.. 'It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?' 'You're riding slack on Friday.'

I think that is the name of the horse she will be riding.

Oh, duh.. Slack - capitalized, as a noun.

You don't know what slack means? It is NOT the name of her horse.
At rodeos there are too many entries to all run in the afternoon or evening performances, plus most people who rodeo try to fit 2 or 3 rodeos into a weekend. The slack is the morning runs. If a person runs in the saturday slack, they can sometimes get to run in an afternoon performance if there is a rodeo close by that has one,then drive to make the evening performance at another, then hop in the truck and drive so that they can make yet another rodeo's slack and start all over again.
I really liked the joke. It helps when you undestand it
