Three Bulls
Three bulls heard via the
grapevine that the farmer was going to bring yet another bull onto the farm, and
this prospect raised a discussion among them.
1st Bull: "Boys, we all know I have been here for five years. Once we
settled our differences, we agreed on which 100 of the cows would be mine. I
don't know where this newcomer is going to get his cows, but I ain't givin' him
any of mine."
2nd Bull: "That pretty much says it for me too. I've been here for three
years and have earned my right to the 50 cows we have agreed are mine. I'll
fight him off or kill him, but I'm keeping all my cows."
3rd 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 I simply must keep all my cows."
They had just finished their big talk when a big 18-wheeler pulls up in the
middle of the paddock with only one animal in it. It was the biggest
son-of-another bull these guys had ever seen. At 2000 kg, each step he took the
ground strained the steel ramp to breaking point.
1st Bull: "Ahem...you know, it's actually been some time since I was doing
all my cows justice. Anyway, I think I can spare a few for our new friend."
2nd Bull: "I'll have plenty of cows to take care of if I just stay on the
opposite side of the paddock from him. I'm certainly not looking for an
argument."
They look over at there young friend, the third bull, and find him pawing the
dirt, shaking his horns and snorting.
1st Bull: "Son, let me give you some advice real quick. Let him have some
of your cows and live to tell about it."
3rd Bull: "Hell he can have all my cows. I'm just making sure he knows I'm
a bull."
