I would like to point out that the fellers in "Brokeback Mountain" were SHEEPHERDERS, not cowboys.
Hyars a cowboy joke:.
A real dumb ole cowboy named Tex was spotted in town walking down the street with nothing but his hat on.
The Sheriff stopped him, tossed an Indian blanket on him and hauled him off to the hoosegow.
"What's the idea Tex?", the sheriff asked. "Have you gone plumb loco?"
"Well", drawls Tex, "It's along story"
"I'm listening", says the Sheriff.
"Well", says Tex, "I been workin out at the Lazy B fer the past month and everything was goin fine. Then last Wednesday Mr O'Neil the owner heads over to Pueblo to buy a couple of breeding bulls and he leaves me in charge.
Well, this mornin with all the hands out roundin up strays, I'm sittin in the bunkhouse patchin up some saddle leather when Mrs. O'Neil hollers for me to come up to the Ranch House.
I ambled up there and she's sittin in the livin room with only a robe on. She says that her husband told me I was in charge of the hands but that I was supposed to do whatever she said.
I said that I reckoned that was right.
So she drops that dang robe and says that I should take my chaps off.
So I did
Then she says I should take off my shirt, so I did.
Then she tells me to pull off my pants and long johns. I did that too.
Then, she flops down on the couch on her back and she hollers, "Okay, Cowboy. Go to town!"
So I did.
