Besides offering joke material, these perks can be absolutely critical to your success, and are also a viable way to end up with just about any character build you can imagine. With the Nex Mex perks for instance, even a muscle-focused Cow Puncher character (the West Of Loathing equivalent of a melee fighter) can have some serious spell power at their disposal, although there are some skill penalty offsets.
