A Matter of Values

A Texan, a Frenchman and a Canadian were out riding horses across the prairie in Alberta.

The Texan pulled out an expensive bottle of whiskey, took a shot, then another, and suddenly threw the bottle in the air, pulled out his gun and shot the bottle in mid air.

The Canadian looks at him and said, "What are you doing?! That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!"

The Texan says, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap."

A while later, not wanting to be outdone, the Frenchman pulled out a magnum of champagne, took a few sips, threw the bottle in the air, pulled gun and shot it.

The Canadian couldn’t believe this and said, “What did you do that for? That was an expensive bottle of Champagne!"

The Frenchman said "In France there's plenty of Champagne and bottles are cheap."

So a while later the Canadian pulled out a bottle of beer. Opened it, took a sip, took another sip, and then chugged the rest. He then put the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulled out his gun, turned around and shot the Frenchman.

The Texan, shocked, says, "Why did you do that?"

The Canadian says, "Well, in Canada, we have way too many Frenchmen, but beer bottles are worth a whole dime."
