THE TEN COMMANDMENTS - TEXAS STYLE

 

People here in Texas have trouble with all those shalls and shall nots

in the 10 Commandments. Folks here just aren't used to talking in

those terms. So, some folks out in west Texas got together and

translated the "King James" into "King Ranch" language: Ten

Commandments, cowboy Style.
