"Die ganze Nacht geh�rt dir, Frankie", sagte er. "Lauf mir nicht wieder mit einem Cowboy davon. Aber jetzt muss ich erst noch ein wichtiges Gesch�ft erledigen."
Er gab ihr einen Klaps aufs Hinterteil und ging auf den Tisch am Fenster zu.
"Hallo, Mr. Stone", sagte er, und er war froh, dass der Mann aus Chicago sein Wort gehalten hatte...
"All the night belongs to you, Frankie [Frankie is woman]", he said. "You won't run away with a cowboy again, ok. I have to do some serious business now."
He gave her a slap on her backside and went to the desk near the window.
"Hello, Mr. Stone", he said, content that the man from Chicago has kept to his word.

One might as well ask if anything useful has come out of Westerns. Or the posts of HS Thomas.
What sort of "usefulness" did you have in mind? I mean, we are talking about entertainment here. If you don't like "sci fi", fine, but this question sounded unnecessarily disparaging to me. Though to be fair, real science fiction fans are often rather disparaging of "sci fi" as well. The good stuff is known as SF.

But Westerns aren't the popular trash today. Instead, we have the thriller, with scads of formulaic books by people like Ludlum, Baldacci, and Clancy. Almost every one is enjoyable pap that ultimately says nothing. There's far better literature out there--why waste your time?

Go Ahead--Call Us Cowboys
By Andrew Kleinfeld and Judith Kleinfeld
Americans are indeed very different from people of other nations, and our Midwestern "cowboy" heritage has a lot to do with that. Here's why we should be proud of our sprawling, brawling spiritedness.
