Violins Against Animals

"Violins Against Animals"*

*Little Johnny was practicing the violin in the living
room while his father was trying to read in the den.
The family dog was lying in the den, and as the
screeching sounds of little Harold's violin reached
his ears, he began to howl loudly.

The father listened to the dog and the violin as long
as he could. Then he jumped up, slammed his paper
to the floor and yelled above the noise,

"For Pete's sake, can't you play something the dog doesn't know?!"

"Cowboy-rator"*

*A man was driving down a country road in the middle
of dairy farm country when his car stalled inexplicably.
He got out and raised the hood to see if he could find
out what had happened.

A brown and white cow slowly lumbered from the field
she had been grazing in over to the car and stuck her
head under the hood beside the man.

After a moment the cow looked at the man and said,
"Looks like a bad carburetor to me." Then she walked
back into the field and began grazing again.

Amazed, the man walked back to the farmhouse he had
just passed, where he met a farmer. "Hey, mister, is that
your cow in the field?" he asked.

The farmer replied, "The brown and white one? Yep,
that's old Bessie."

The man then said, "Well my car's broken down, and she
just said, 'Looks like a bad carburetor to me.'"

The farmer shook his head and said, "Don't mind old Bessie,
son. She don't know a thing about cars."
