Counting Sheep

"Counting Sheep"*

*Once upon a time, a blonde became so sick of hearing
blonde jokes that she had her hair cut and died brown.
A few days later, as she was driving around the
countryside, she stopped her car to let a flock of
sheep pass. Admiring the cute woolly creatures, she
said to the shepherd, "If I can guess how many sheep
you have, can I take one?"

The shepherd, always the gentleman replied, "Of course."

The blonde thought for a moment and for no
discernible reason said, "352."

This being the correct number, the shepherd was,
understandable, totally amazed and exclaimed,
"You're right! O.K., I'll keep to my end of the deal.
Take your pick of my flock."

The blonde carefully considered the entire flock
and finally picked one that was by far cuter and
more playful than any of the others.

When she was done, the shepherd turned to her
and said, "O.K., now I have a proposition for you.
If I can guess your true hair color, can I have my dog back?"

"The Farmer's Wagon"*

*A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon,
loaded with corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise.

"Hey Clarence!!" the farmer yelled. "Forget
your troubles. Come into the house with me
and the Mrs, and have a bite to eat. Then I'll
help you get the wagon up."

"That's mighty nice of you, "Clarence answered,
"but I don't think Pa would like me to."

"Aw, come on," the farmer insisted.

"Well okay," the boy finally agreed, and added, "but Pa won't like it."

After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked his host.
"I feel a lot better now, but I know Pa is going to be real upset."

"Don't be foolish!" the neighbor said with a smile.
"By the way, where is he?"

"Under the wagon."
