A farmer goes in half with a friend to buy a bull so he can increase his stock.
A couple of weeks later the friend comes by to see how his investment is doing.
The farmer complains that the bull just eats grass and won't even look at the cows. His friend suggests that a veterinarian have a look at the bull.
The following week his friend returns to see if the vet helped.
The farmer looks delighted: "That bull has taken care of all my cows, broke through the fence, and has even serviced all my neighbor's cows!"
"Wow," says his friend, "what did the vet do to that bull?"
"Just gave him some pills'" said the farmer.
"What kind of pills?" asked his friend.
"I don't know, but they sort of taste like peppermint."
Cheers,
Paul (A.)
(I didn't get the joke right away then, "Ha, ha, ha!")

Okay, I didn't get the joke. Please share.
ReplyDeleteHint: How did the farmer know what the bull's medicine tasted like?
ReplyDeleteI don't usually explain jokes, because I believe the funny disappears into thin air with the explanation, but I made an exception for you, Elizabeth.
The first time I heard this joke, my mother told it. The punch line was "I don't know, but it tasted like chocolate." My very sheltered aunt had told it to Mother.
ReplyDeleteMother laughed out loud. Aunt Martha then asked mother if she knew what the vet had treated the bull with. Evidently, she knew it was a joke, but was certain it was based on truth!
Reminds me about a story I heard about child nutrition, of at risk children. Doctors know to prescribe twice the amount, because the mother will take the supplement, too. Not as funny as your joke, to be sure.
ReplyDelete...but was certain it was based on truth! Ha, ha.
