Front teeth optional. Gun license required -- must be proficient at shooting the hats off suspicious strangers. Personal experience at calming a cattle herd on the verge of stampede a definite plus. Must be willing at all times to marvel at my physical dexterity, with little or no expectation of acknowledgment. gratitude or a decent salary. When not cooking, spluttering or conking suspected evildoers on the head with a skillet (provided) , must be prepared to laugh and my laconic, seemingly self-deprecatory remarks.
