I had that happen a few years ago trying to mouth a cow. She hit me hard enough that I was laying about 10 feet back from the chute. My wife said my vocabulary included some words she didn't think I even knew and haven't used since! :???:

It is ironic that you mention this. When my finger got cut off, it took me by complete surprise but it didn't hurt. I looked down, thought, "I don't have a finger," but didn't say a single bad word. When the heifer hit my nose and sent me tumbling, I regret to say that my instant painful reaction was to say something very bad.

I read some old cowboy's book several years back (can't remember whose book it was :roll: ), and it contained his observations on this subject. His thoughts were that if you were taken by surprise and scared silly for a moment, your first reaction is to cuss. If you have a few instants to realize a grave ( :roll: ) situation is iminent, you will pray with great fervor. I've been in both situations and agree that this is how it happens with me.

One reason I don't like "cowdogs" (and I use the term loosely, as do most cowdog owners) is because they often put me in those situations where it becomes all too easy to cuss.

Several years ago a Brother in law was changing wheel bearings on a pickup in my shop when something slipped and pinched his fingers. His reaction was to Praise the Lord whereas I probably would have said some rather bad words. That is a testament of a man's faith. :wink:
