Here's an oldie but goodie from reader Marguerite:
Bernard was driving along a country road when and realized he had to
make a phone call. He was miles from a pay phone so he decided to
stop in at the next farmhouse he found. As he was approaching a house
he noticed a three-legged chicken racing along the road. He followed
the chicken and clocked it at 40 mph.
Well, when Bernie got to the farmhouse he asked the farmer about this
wonderful chicken. The farmer replied, "Well now, when I was at the
college I took up a studyin' at there gee-netics. 'Round here we love
chicken and we're all mighty partial to the drumstick, so I thought
I'd see if I could make me a three-legged chicken. So, there 'tis."
Now Bernie was quite impressed. He asked, "How does it taste?"
The farmer replied, "Well, that's the durndest thing. Ah don't know.
Ain't none of us been able to ketch one a the varmints yet."
