Some rough-looking cowboys saunter into a seedy saloon looking to wet their whistles.
"Zeke, first round is on you!" says the leader of the bunch.
"Sure thing, Duke" says Zeke, and tosses a few coins on the bar. The bartender fills up the glasses, and the men finish off their first round in no time at all.
"Jeb, the second round is on you" says Duke, and so continues the evening with Duke assigning each man to pay for a round. They are all getting a bit tipsy when Duke calls out for Willy to pay for the final round.
"Well, the thing is... I'm broke." says Willy.
All the men turn and look on as Duke grabs Willy by the collar, stares him in the eye, and calmly tells him "Well, Willy, it's not gentlemanly to drink all night with your friends and then suddenly realize you're broke when it's your turn to pay. I think a lesson is in order." Duke looks around the bar, and fixes his eyes on something in the corner. "Alright Willy, you get over there and drink the contents of that spittoon, and we'll call it even."
Willy's face turns grey as he slowly walks to the corner, and picks up the sizeable spittoon. One at a time, he looks at each of his friends for compassion, but seeing none, he puts the rim of the grimey spittoon to his lips, tips it up, and begins to swallow. After a full minute, tears are streaming down Willy's face, and his sobs threaten to choke him, but he continues on.
"Duke! That's enough! I'll pay for Willy's round!" shouts out Jeb, but Willy continues to chug and swallow.
"God dammit Willy, set that spitton down right now, and I'll pay for the next two rounds!" yells Zeke, but Willy keeps drinking.
Finally, Duke is simply too disgusted by the spectacle, and moves in to slap the spittoon out of Willy's hands. But just then Willy finally lets out a huge gasp and drops the spittoon to the floor, a dazed look on his face.
"Now Willy, why in the hell did you keep drinking that horrible slop?" asks Duke angrily.
Willy pauses, obviously deeply troubled by what just happened, and then slowly explains "I would have stopped, but it was all in one strand."
