Many years ago, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans had a problem with a mountain lion.
This lion had cost Roy and Dale a number of head of cattle, but what really got Roy's attention was one night the big cat crept onto the front porch of their house and mangled Roy's brand new cowboy boots, which had been left outside overnight.
That was the final straw. Roy saddled up Trigger, called his faithful dog Bullet to his side, and rode off to find the mountain lion. He found the lion and shot it and tied the carcass across Trigger's back for the ride home.
As he rode up to the house, Dale, who was sitting on the porch, called out, "Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"
