Two mountain lions met on a track. One was from Texas, the other from another part of the South.
The Texas mountain lion challenged the other mountain lion. Each would go to the other's patch and hunt for a season.
A season passed. The mountain lions returned. The Texan was hearty and well, the other just skin and bones. The Texan asked what the hell had happened.
"I have no idea," the other one said.
"I did everything you're supposed to. I laid in ambush on a track, waiting for a human to go by. Then I yelled and jumped on him and then ate him.
"But I never seemed to get any sustenance."
The other lion laughed uproariously for a few minutes.
"You fool!" he said.
"When you roared at him, you scared the piss out of him.
"Then when you jumped on him, you knocked the wind out of him.
"By the time you were eating, he was nothing but belt buckle."
