A wise old rancher went to town to buy a pickup truck that he saw advertised in the paper for a certain price. After telling the salesman which truck he wanted, they sat down to do the paperwork.
The salesman handed the rancher the bill, and the rancher declared, "This isn't the price I saw!"
The salesman went on to tell the wise old rancher how he was getting extras such as power brakes, power windows, special tires etc. and that was what took the price up. The rancher need the truck badly, He paid the
price and went home.
A few months later, the salesman called up the rancher and said, "My son is in 4-H and he needs a cow for a project. Do you have any for sale?"
The rancher said, "Yes, I have a few cows, and I would sell for $500.00 apiece. Come look at them and take your pick."
The salesman said he and his son would be right out. After spending a few hours in the field checking out all the rancher's cows, the two decided on one and the salesman proceeded to write out a check for $500.00.
The rancher said--------"Now, wait a minute, that's not the final price of the cow. You're getting extras with it and you have to pay for that too."
"What extras?" asked the salesman.
