I had a trading store in a small town near a reservation. Ranchers would bring in bleached bones and throw them in a pile underneath a crude sign hanging on the front of the store. It said: USED COW PARTS buy, sell, trade. For the bones, they got free coffee and doughnuts. Believe it or not those stinky old bones sold. I once told a tourist $10 for a beef shoulder blade. It was as big as a small buffalo shoulder blade. Not liking my price, he said: "I could've stole this, sitting outside like that". I answered: yes, and you still could, but we trust people around here. He paid the $10.
So a few guys are having morning coffee, and one of them says: Well ,I got to get going and he walks out to his car. Driving out onto the highway, his door flies open and he spilled out onto the pavement as his car rolled on without him, then down into the ditch. He was sitting in the middle of the highway as everybody laughed. Somebody had caught and cut the head off of a Rattlesnake that morning and put it in the guys car. The snake couldn't kill anymore, but they rattle and strike just fine without a head. His fear was real as they go into cars after rodents
