            A very small, sickly-looking man was hired as a bartender. The
            saloon owner gave him a word of warning: "Drop everything and run
            for your life if ever you hear that Big John is on his way to town."
            The man worked several months without any problems.
            Then one day a cowhand rushed in shouting, "Big John is comin',and
            knocked the small bartender on the floor in his hurry to get out.
            Before the bartender had a chance to recover, a giant of a man with
            a black bushy beard rode into the saloon through the swinging doors
            on the back of a buffalo, and using a rattlesnake for a whip. The
            man tore the doors off their hinges, knocked over tables, and flung
            the snake into the corner.
            He then took his massive fist and split the bar in half as he asked
            for a drink. The bartender nervously pushed a bottle at the man. He
            bit off the top of the bottle with his teeth and downed the contents
            in one gulp, and turned to leave. Seeing that he wasn't hurting
            anyone, the bartender asked the man if he would like another drink.
            "I ain't got no time," the man roared.
           "Big John is comin' to town."
