Bull Grapevine
Three bulls
heard via the grapevine that the rancher was going to bring yet another bull
onto the ranch, and the prospect raised a discussion among them.
First Bull: Boys, we all know
I've been here five years. Once we settled our differences, we agreed on which
100 of the cows would be mine. Now, I don't know where this newcomer is going
to get HIS cows, but I ain't giving' him any of mine.Second Bull: That pretty much says it for me, too. I've been here three years and have earned my right to the 50 cows we've agreed are mine. I'll fight him, run him off or kill him, but I'm KEEPING' ALL MY COWS.
Third Bull: I've only been here a year, and so far, you guys have only let me have 10 cows to take care of. I may not be as big as you fellows (yet) but I am young and virile, so Isimply MUST keep all MY cows.
They had just finished their big talk when an eighteen-wheeler pulls up in the middle of the pasture with only ONE ANIMAL IN IT: the biggest Son-of-Another-Bull these guys had ever seen. At 4,700 pounds, each step he took toward the ground strained the steel ramp to the breaking point.
First Bull: Ahem...You know, it's actually been some time since I really felt I was doing all my cows justice, anyway. I think I can spare a few for our new friend.
Second Bull: I have plenty of cows to take care of, if I just stay on the opposite end of the pasture from HIM. I'm certainly not looking for an argument.
They look over at their young friend, the 3rd bull, and find him pawing the dirt, shaking his horns, and snorting.
First Bull: Son, let me give you some advice real quick. Let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it.
Third Bull: Hell, he can have ALL my cows. I'm just making sure he knows I'm a bull.
Bullfight Buffet
A man goes to Spain and attends a bullfight. Afterwards he
goes to a nearby restaurant and orders the specialty of the day. The waiter
brings him two very big balls on a huge plate, which the tourist eats with
relish.
The next day he goes to the same
restaurant again, once again orders the specialty of the day, and he is brought
two very big balls on a huge plate. It tastes even more scrumptious.The third day he does the same and the fourth, but on the fifth day he goes to the restaurant and orders the specialty of the day, and they bring him two very small balls on a big plate. The man asks, "What gives?"
And the waiter says, "Senor, the bullfighter doesn't always win!"
Cat in the Way
Two church members were going door to door, and knocked on the door of a
woman who was not happy to see them. Shetold them in no uncertain terms that
she did not want to hear their message and slammedthe door in their faces. To
her surprise, however, the door did not close and, in fact,bounced back open.
She tried again, really put her back into it, and slammed the dooragain with
the same result-the door bounced back open.
Convinced these
rude youngpeople were sticking their foot in the door, she reared back to give
it a slam that wouldteach them a lesson, when one of them said, "Ma'am,
before you do that again, you needto move your cat."
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
A man left his
cat with his brother while he went on vacation for a week. When he came back,
the man called his brother to see when he could pick the cat up. The brother
hesitated, then said, ''I'm so sorry, but while you were away, the cat
died."
The man was very upset and
yelled, ''You know, you could have broken the news to me better than that. When
I called today, you could have said he was on the roof and wouldn't come down.
Then when I called the next day, you could have said that he had fallen off and
the vet was working on patching him up. Then when I called the third day, you
could have said he had passed away.''The brother thought about it and apologized.
"So how's Mom?" asked the man.
"She's on the roof and won't come down."
Chicken Wire & Duct Tape
An old man in Mississippi is sitting on his front porch watching
the sun rise. He sees the neighbor's kid walk by carrying something big
under his arm. "Hey boy, whatchagot there?"
"Roll of chicken wire.""What you gonna do with that?"
"Gonna catch some chickens."
"You damn fool! You can't catch chickens with chicken wire!" The boy just laughs and keeps walking. That evening at sunset, the boy comes walking by, dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chickens caught in it.
The next morning, the old man is out watching the sun rise and he sees the boy walk by carrying something in his hand. "Hey boy, what cha got there?"
"Roll of duct tape."
"What you gonna do with that?"
"Gonna catch me some ducks."
"You damn fool! You can't catch ducks with duct tape!"
The boy just laughs and keeps walking.That night around sunset the boy walks by, trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duct tape with about 35 ducks caught in it.
The next morning, the old man sees the boy walking by carrying what looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the end. ''Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
"It's a pussy willow."
"Wait up...I'll get my hat."
Chores on the Farm
A young boy
comes down to breakfast one morning. His mother asks, "Have you done your
chores yet?"
"No," replies the boy,
"but could I have breakfast first?""You know the rules, go outside and clean the chicken coop, milk the cow and feed the pigs."
The boy goes down to the chicken coop and lazily cleans it. When he is finished he he kicks a chicken. Next, we walks to the barn and takes out the old milking cow. After milking her thoroughly, he kicks her. Then the boy gets the food and feeds the pigs. Once he is done he kicks a pig.
Finally, the boy runs back to his house, very hungry. His mother gives him a plate with nothing on it but an apple. Disappointed, the boy says, "Where's my eggs, my milk and my sausage?"
"Well," says his mother, "I saw you kick a chicken, so now you don't get eggs. I saw you kick the cow, so now you don't get milk. I saw you kick the pig, so now you don't get any sausage."
Just then, the boy's father walks in and kicks the cat. The boy says to his mother, "Should I tell him now, or do you want to?"
Comfortable
Two sisters, a
blonde and a brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a
few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from
repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so they can breed their
own stock.
The brunette balances their
checkbook, then decides to take their last $600 dollars out west to another
ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale. Upon leaving, she tells her
sister, "If I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after
me and haul it home."The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram.
She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pick-up truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, "It's just 99 cents a word."
Well, with only $1 left after paying for the bull, the brunette realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word. After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word, comfortable."
The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pick-up truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you just write, comfortable?"
The brunette explains, "My sister's a blonde. She'll read it slowly."
Fairy Tale For Our Times
A Fairy Tale for
the Woman of the New Millennium:
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.The frog hopped into the Princess' lap.
"Elegant Lady, I was once a
handsome Prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you,
however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I am! Then, my
sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in yon castle with my Mother, where
you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel
grateful and happy doing so."Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.The frog hopped into the Princess' lap.
That night, on a repast of lightly sauteed frogs legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself.
"I don't f-ing think so."
Farmer Joe and his Mule
Farmer Joe decided his injuries from his recent accident were serious enough to take the trucking company responsible for the accident to court. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe.
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, that you were fine?"
''Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the--"
''I didn't ask for any details,'' the lawyer interrupted. ''Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, that you were fine?"
''Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and was driving down the road--''
''Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.'' By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and told the lawyer so.
''Well," said the farmer, "as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ol' Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, 'Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?'"
Football Animals
During the Super
Bowl, there was another football game of note between the big animals and the
small animals. The big animals were crushing small animals and at half-time,
the coach made a passionate speech to rally the little animals.
At the start of the second half
the big animals had the ball. The first play, the elephant got stopped for no
gain. The second play, the rhino was stopped for no gain. On third down, the
hippo was thrown for a 5 yard loss.The defense huddled around the coach and he asked excitedly,
"Who stopped the elephant?"
"I did," said the centipede.
"Who stopped the rhino?"
"Uh, that was me too," said the centipede.
"And how about the hippo? Who hit him for a 5 yard loss?"
"Well,
that was me as well," said the centipede.
"So where were you during
the first half?" demanded the coach."Well," said the centipede, "I was having my ankles taped."
Football Fan To The Rescue
Two boys are
playing football in Central
Park when
one is attacked by a rabid rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy rips a
board off of a nearby fence, wedges it down the dog's collar and twists,
breaking the dog's neck.
A reporter strolling by sees the
incident, and rushes over to interview the boy."Young Giants Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he writes in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Giants fan," the little hero replies.
"Sorry, since we are in New York, I just assumed you were," says the reporter.
"Little Jets Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in his notebook.
"I'm not a Jets fan either," the boy says.
"I assumed everyone in New York was either for the Giants or Jets. What team do you root for?" the reporter asks.
"I'm a Cowboys fan," the child says.
The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, "Little Redneck Maniac Kills Beloved Family Pet".
Four Men and Their Dogs
Four men, an
Engineer, an Accountant, a Chemist and a Government Worker were bragging about
how smart their dogs were.
To show off, the Engineer called
to his dog and said, "T-Square, do your stuff."T- square trotted over to a desk, took out some paper and a pen and promptly drew a circle, a square and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart. But the Accountant said his dog could do better. He called his dog and said, "Slide Rule, do your stuff."
Slide Rule went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each. Everyone agreed that was good. But the Chemist said his dog could do better. He called his dog and said, "Measure, do your stuff."
Measure got up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop. Everyone agreed that was good. Then the three men turned to the Government Worker and said, "What can your dog do?"
The Government Worker called to his dog and said, "Coffee Break, do your stuff."
Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, dumped on the paper, molested the other three dogs, claimed he injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for Worker's Compensation and went home on sick leave.
