Long Sermon

"Long Sermon"

One Sunday a cowboy went to church. When
he entered, he saw that he and the preacher
were the only ones present. The preacher
asked the cowboy if he wanted him to go
ahead and preach.

The cowboy said, "I'm not too smart, but if I
went to feed my cattle and only one showed
up, I'd feed him."

So the minister began his sermon.

One hour passed, then two hours, then
two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally
finished and came down to ask the cowboy
how he liked the sermon.

The cowboy answered slowly, "Well, I'm not
very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and
only one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him
all the hay..."

"Country Lane"

A husband and wife were driving down a
country lane on their way to visit some friends.
They came to a muddy patch in the road and
the car became bogged. After a few minutes
of trying to get the car out by themselves, they
saw a young farmer coming down the lane,
driving some oxen before him.

He stopped when he saw the couple in trouble
and offered to pull the car out of the mud for $50.
The husband accepted and minutes later the
car was free.

The farmer turned to the husband and said,
"You know, you're the tenth car I've helped
out of the mud today."

The husband looks around at the fields
incredulously and asks the farmer,"When
do you have time to plough your land? At
night?"

"No," the young farmer replied seriously, "Night
is when I put the water in the hole."
