THE CHICKEN AND THE HORSE
A horse and chicken are playing in a meadow. Suddenly the horse falls
into a mud hole and starts to sink. The horse yells at the chicken to go
and get the farmer to help pull him out to saftey. The chicken runs to the
farm but the farmer can't be found. So the chicken gets into the farmers's
Mercedes and drives it as fast as possible back to the mud hole. Wasting no
time the chicken ties a rope around the bumper, and then tosses the other end of
the rope to the horse. As the horse hangs on for dear life, the chicken
drives the car forward, and saves the horse from sinking.
A few days later the chicken and horse are playing in the meadow again.
This time the chicken falls into the mud hole. The chicken yells to
the horse to hurry and get the farmer, or the farmer's Mercedes. The horse
then says, 'Wait, I think I can stand over the mud hole!' So, he stretches
over the width of the hole and says to the chicken, 'Reach up and grab my
"thingy", and pull yourself up!!!'
And the chicken did so, and pulled herself up to safety.
The Moral of the story .......
If you are hung like a horse, you don't need a Mercedes to pick up
chicks.
- PADDY & CONNOR -
Paddy and his brother Conner inherited their family farm after their
parents passed away. Neither of the two lads had kept on with the family
farming tradition - but they decided to make a go of it anyway......
Things hadn't been going so well for Paddy and Conner on the farming
front, and they were down to their final £600, so in a last ditch effort to
save the family farm Paddy, the more business orientated of the two, decided
they should purchase a new bull.
The new bull would mate with their cows producing many fine calves to
solve their financial woes. Paddy saw an advertisement for a bull for sale
in the paper. The farm with the bull was a quite a distance away so Paddy
said he would go to have a look at the bull, if he purchased it then he would
send word, and Conner could then bring the tractor and trailer to pick the
bull up.
When Paddy arrived, he asked the farmer how much for the bull. "£599
pounds, not a penny more and not a penny less". Paddy thankfully had
just enough money to buy the bull.
After paying for the bull, Paddy went to the post office to send a
telegram to Conner saying he 'had bought the bull, and to bring the tractor and
trailer to pick him up'. But the post master advised him that he only
had enough money for 1 word.....
Paddy thought about this for some time and eventually told the post
master to send just 1 word - 'Comfortable'!
The post master asked in surprise 'Paddy, How is your brother going to
know that you have brought the bull and that he is now to bring the tractor
and trailer and drive all this way to pick him up?'
Paddy replied; 'Conner was never very good at school and reads verrrry
slowly........'
