THREE BULLS
Three bulls heard via the grapevine that the rancher
was going to bring another bull onto the
ranch, and
the prospect raised a discussion among them.
The first bull says, "Boys, we all know I've
been here
5 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' givin' him any of mine."
The second bull says, "That pretty much says
it for
me, too. I've been here 3 years and have
earned my
right to the 50 cows we've agreed are mine.
I'll fight
'im till I run him off or kill 'im, but I'M
KEEPIN'
ALL MY COWS."
The third bull says, "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 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 4700
pounds, each step he took toward the ground
strained
the steel ramp to the breaking point.
The first bull says, "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."
The second bull says, "I'll 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
third bull,
and find him pawing the dirt, shaking his
horns, and
snorting up a storm.
The first bull says, "Son, let me give you
some advice
real quick. Let him have some of your cows
and live to
tell about it."
The third bull says, "Heck, he can have ALL
my cows.
I'm just making sure he knows I'M a bull!" vv
