Three Bulls

"Three Bulls"

Three bulls are in the pasture complaining. They've
heard a rumor that the farmer is bringing in a new
bull, and they aren't happy about sharing any of their
cows.

The Alpha bull says, "You know, since we settled our
differences and split up the cows, I've been pretty
happy with MY 120 cows. I am not about to share any of
MY cows with this new bull."

The second toughest bull says, "Yeah, well I ended up
with only 60 cows, so I can't afford to share any of MY
cows."

The youngest bull says, "I may only be half as big as
you guys, but I'm still a teenager. I'm already
climbing the walls with just 20 cows."

Suddenly a huge, black tractor-trailer pulls into the
yard. The entire trailer contains just one animal - the
biggest, baddest bull you ever saw. He weighs 3,000
pounds and has horns four feet long. As the new bull
strolls down the gangplank, the two-inch thick metal
plates actually sag under his weight.

Suddenly the former Alpha bull is a bit more flexible,
"Well, maybe I could spare a FEW cows."

The second toughest bull says, "Maybe if I hide in the
corner of the pasture, he'll leave me alone."

But the small, teenage bull is snorting, pawing the
ground and shaking his fledgling horns in an extremely
confrontational way.

Worried about the reckless youngster, the two older
bulls trot over to the young bull and say, "Listen,
son. It's not worth dying for. Just give the new bull
your 20 cows."

"He can HAVE my 20 cows," replies the young bull,
snorting and pawing the ground again. "I'm just making
sure he knows I'm a BULL!"
