Hands Off The Melons

"Hands Off The Melons"*

*A watermelon farmer was determined to scare off
the local kids who went into his watermelon patch
every night to eat their fill.

After some thought, he made a sign that read,
"WARNING! ONE OF THESE WATERMELONS HAS BEEN
INJECTED WITH CYANIDE!"

He smiled smugly as he watched the kids run off
the next night without eating any of his melons.

A week later, the farmer was surveying his field. To
his satisfaction, no watermelons were missing, but
a sign next to his read, "NOW THERE ARE TWO!"

*"Horse Sense"*

*An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a
desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to
help with his big strong horse named Buddy.

He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull,
Nellie, pull!" Buddy didn't move.

Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!" Buddy didn't respond.

Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Coco, pull!" Nothing.

Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!"
And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.

The motorist was most appreciative and very curious.
He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the
wrong name three times.

The farmer said, "Oh, Buddy is blind, and if he thought
he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"
