Milking a Cow

"Milking a Cow"*

*A farmer was sitting in the neighborhood bar
getting hammered. A man came in and asked the
farmer, "Hey, why are you sitting here on this
beautiful day, getting drunk?"

The farmer shook his head and replied, "Some
things you just can't explain."

"So what happened that's so horrible?" the man
asked as he sat down next to the farmer.

"Well," the farmer said, "today I was sitting by
my cow, milking her. Just as I got the bucket
'bout full, she lifted her left leg and kicked over
the bucket."

"Okay," said the man, "but that's not so bad."

"Some things you just can't explain," the farmer
replied. "So what happened then?" the man asked.

The farmer said, "I took her left leg and tied it to
the post on the left." "And then?" "Well, I sat back
down and continued to milk her. Just as I got the
bucket 'bout full, she took her right leg and kicked
over the bucket."

Man laughed and said, "Again?" The farmer replied,
"Some things you just can't explain." "So, what did
you do then?" the man asked. "I took her right leg
this time and tied it to the post on the right."

"And then?"

"Well, I sat back down and began milking her again.
Just as I got the bucket about full, the stupid cow
knocked over the bucket with her tail."

"Hmmm . . . " the man said and nodded his head.
"Some things you just can't explain," the farmer said.

"So, what did you do?" the man asked.

"Well," the farmer said, "I didn't have anymore rope,
so I took off my belt and tied her tail to the rafter.
In that moment, my pants fell down and my wife walked in . . .
Some things you just can't explain."
