A cowboy walks into a bar and orders a whiskey.
When the bartender delivered the drink, the cowboy asks, “Where is everybody?”
The bartender replies, “They’ve gone to the hanging.”
“Hanging? Who are they hanging?”
“Brown Paper Pete,” says the bartender.
“What kind of a name is that?” the cowboy asks.
“Well,” says the bartender, “he wears a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper trousers and brown paper shoes.”
“Sounds like a strange man,” says the cowboy. “What are they hanging him for?”
The bartender replies, “Rustling.”

Facts: Tom Tyler had a long career in film, stretching from the 1920s to the 1950s, and appeared in many films, most of them westerns such as John Ford’s Stagecoach and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. He occasionally took “civilian” roles in feature films (he’s the boxing referee in Abbott and Costello’s Buck Privates), but the biggest part of Tyler’s screen career was spent making low-budget B-movie westerns for modest salaries. Most of his budget westerns were made by Reliable Pictures for producers Bernard B. Ray and Harry S. Webb
