A couple of guys are in a bar in the Old West, drinking. One starts to leave and the second man asks him why he's leaving so early in the day. "I'm going to go watch 'em hang Brown Paper Joe."
"Brown Paper Joe? Why'd they call him that?"
"Well, it's cuz his hat's made o' brown paper, his shirt's made o' brown paper, his pants is made o' brown paper. Even his boots is made o' brown paper!"
"So what are they hangin' 'im for?"
"Rustlin'."
