It was Monday at the Jackass Saloon and that meant it ladies night. During the two hours in which men were off-limits there they would have to mosey down the dirt road here in the old west town to the Red Ass Saloon. For two hours a week they would put up with this little inconvenience for after the show at Jackass their ladies would be horny as all git-out. A carriage accident on a Monday night would as likely be caused by a lustful rumble as it would be from excessiveness drunkenness. More likely than a carriage running into a mud rut would it simply be coming to a halt as the driver let loose of the reigns and the real jackass or horse pulling it took some time off.
"Out! Git!" It was seven o'clock and Sara Lee was sweeping, yes literally sweeping the saloon, of the lingering men with her broom as the honkytonk piano played Clementine. With the last one out she locked the door and closed the wood window panels. No peeping Toms.
As a historical note when Bubba Thornsworth first opened his saloon and named it Red Ass old Jack Snodgrass was mad as hell. He had copied his name and was trying to ride on the fine reputation Jack had built up. The customers would be confused. Bubba said the drunks were already confused. Change it or there likely will be a fire. Oh yea; do you know how fast fires spread? So they went to court.
Going to court meant waiting till Old Hardass, as the circuit judge was known, came to town and heard cases. Bubba and Snodgrass took seats in the front pew of the church which served as the courthouse on "Court Day." The verdict was about to be rendered in the prior case.
"Has you all come to a verdict?"
"Hang him."
"Judge, I wants to appeal."
"Go ahead."
"It ain't right. It's just ain't right. I gots family."
"What family?"
"Old Sam."
"What's he to you?"
"He's my hound. My hound dog. I love's my hound dog and he loves me."
"Appeal denied. Hang him. And I don't mean the dog. Next case."
Bubba and Jack looked at each other. "Fuck this shit." Out they went.
So Old Hardass never got to decide which ass was right when it came to the two saloons.

"Ladies and ladies. The Jackass Saloon is proud to present Louisiana Lambepie."
In response to a drumroll a drop-dead handsome young man with darting blue eyes came strutting onto the stage all decked out in a cowboy outfit with a smile so wide that his teeth sparkled like pearls. To a sexy beat of the drum and symbols he pranced about with his hands on his hips throwing his head back. He pranced about all full of himself until a tall woman all in black appeared with a whip in her hand. But rather than cower he continued to prance about.
At the crack of her whip his facial expression turned to one of feigned fright. At the crack of her whip again he started to disrobe by first tossing his large cowboy hat into the audience. He continued to toss off his clothes and become more and more scared as the tall woman in black circled about him cracking her whip.
Catcalls went up from the women in the audience. "Take it all off." "Whip his ass."
Finally he was down to just a black tong. The audience was salivating. "Whip him. Whip him!!"
The handsome young man faced the audience, bent over and put his hands on his knees. When the woman in black cracked her whip he started gyrating his hips as he gave that pearly white teeth smile to the engrossed ladies. And then by damn the woman actually laid the whip onto his ass to the sound of the drummer's symbol. Many of the women's mouths dropped open in surprise. She had actually done it. They were stunned.
To all's amazement it seemed that the strike of the whip had been inconsequential to the young man as he continued to gyrate and smile as the drummer kept up his unbroken cadence.
The woman-in-black walked around the young man a couple of times cracking her whip and then slashed his naked ass again with the whip. The sound of its striking skin was unmistakable even over the sound of the drummer's symbol.
The drop-dead handsome young man continued to gyrate his hips and smile, although his smile now was strained. The woman-in-black continued to walk around him with her whip, taking care not to step on his clothes there on the stage floor.
Again she cracked it in the air like a lion tamer. This time the whip wrapped around striking not only his naked ass but also his right hip. What was his response? He blew a kiss to a woman at a front table. She stood and blew him a kiss back in return.
Now the audience was hardening. No longer were the ladies shocked at seeing Louisiana Lambepie whipped. Now they were encouraging it.
"Give it to him."
"Whip his fucking ass!"
Suddenly his large cowboy hat came flying back onto the stage, the waiters having been so instructed. That hat cost. The woman-in-black put it on his head tilted all cute like and touched his nose with her finger.
"Has Lambepie had enough?"
"NNNNNOOOOOO" protested the audience
"No?"
"NNNNN0000000000000 WHIP HIS ASS. WHIP HIS ASS. WHIP HIS FUCKING ASS."
The woman planted a kiss on his cheek. "Lambepie is a cutepie."
With that she returned to strutting around him to the beat of the drum while cracking her Whip. Five more time she whipped his ass and flanks to the sound of the symbol.
Now Lambepie was no longer smiling. He was straining to smile but everyone could see he was in real pain. Even the grown man's eyes were tearing.
"Stand up."
He obeyed.
"Turn around."
Again obeyed.
