During the California gold rush, there were few women present and Mail 
Order Brides became popular. One lonely miner sent east for his bride, 
and met her at the rail station upon her arrival from the east. They set 
out for their new home in a horse drawn buggy. 

A few miles from the rail station, the horse swiped the man's face with 
his tail. The man wiped his face and muttered, "That's one." A few miles 
later the horse repeated the swipe again and the man muttered, "That's 
two." A little while later, the horse swiped his tail across the man's 
face again. The man stopped the horse, exited the buggy and shot the 
horse dead. 

The new bride exclaimed,"That was a little extreme!" 

The man turned to her and said, "That's one."
