"The Missing Bull"
A big-city lawyer was representing the
railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher.
The rancher's prize bull was missing from
the section through which the railroad
passed. The rancher only wanted to be
paid the fair value of the bull. The case
was scheduled to be tried before the
justice of the peace in the back room of
the general store.
The attorney for the railroad immediately
cornered the rancher and tried to get him
to settle out of court. The lawyer did his
best selling job, and finally the rancher
agreed to take half of what he was asking.
After the rancher had signed the release
and took the check, the young lawyer
couldn't resist gloating a little over his
success, telling the rancher, "You know,
I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put
one over on you in there. I couldn't have
won the case. The engineer was asleep
and the fireman was in the caboose when
the train went through your ranch that
morning. I didn't have one witness to put
on the stand. I bluffed you!"
The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you,
young feller, I was a little worried about
winning that case myself, because that
durned bull came home this morning."

"This Bull Reproduced..."
A man takes his wife to the stock show. They
start heading down the alley that had the bulls.
They come up to the first bull and his sign
stated: "This bull mated 50 times last year."
The wife turns to her husband and says, "He
mated 50 times in a year, you could learn
from him."
They proceed to the next bull and his sign
stated: "This bull mated 65 times last year."
The wife turns to her husband and says, "This
one mated 65 times last year. That is over 5
times a month. You can learn from this one,
also."
They proceeded to the last bull and his sign
said: "This bull mated 365 times last year."
The wife's mouth drops open and says,
"WOW! He mated 365 times last year. That
is ONCE A DAY!!! You could really learn
from this one."
The man turns to his wife and says, "Go up
and inquire if it was 365 times with the same
cow."
