1. Hard to make a living when your cattle is constantly anemic.

2. Say goodbye to most cowboy activities (rodeos don’t tend to be at night).

3. Also say goodbye to morning sex, unless you are into “that” kind of sex (and if you are, eewww).

4. Cold, cold feet — seriously cold; dead, in fact.

5. She’s a better shot — vampires have great eyesight.

6. She can out drink you — alcohol doesn’t really have any effect.

7. You may have to occasionally rob a Red Cross for snacks.

8. Camping trips lasting more than one night are BYOC (Bring Your Own Coffin).

9. Casual acquaintances tend to vanish.
