Salty Characters I've met in the Great State, #3 in a list

3. Hardcore old Texan oil guy who unknowingly dresses like a gay cowboy. The "unknowingly" is assumed. I did not inquire, "Sir, are you aware that your ensemble would be more appropriate to a stage in La Bare than this Luby's Cafeteria?" So, you know, maybe he does know. But seriously, he's old and has the thick accent and everything. And he was talking to my boss. But anyway, he was wearing a pink floral cowboy shirt. With pearl snaps. And a tan kerchief tied jauntily about the neck! What more can you ask?
