I Just Couldn’t Help Myself

Please forgive me in advance for the joke I’m about to tell (because you may not want to after you’ve read it)…

Overheard at an old time western bar –

There’s going to be a hanging today, Brown Paper Pete is going to be strung up.

What an odd name? Where did he get that from?

Well, he wears a brown paper hat, a brown paper shirt, a brown paper jacket, brown paper pants, brown paper socks and brown paper shoes

What crime did he commit?
