How Now Brown Cow?
Old cowboy Sam suddenly found all of his cows were very sick. An immediate call to the vet resulted in the recommendation for a cure involving the insertion of a rather large pill in the rear of each animal. After several rather difficult tries, another call to the vet resulted in the use of a blow pipe. With the pill in the blow pipe and a hard puff the pill was immediately lodged in the proper location.
With the large number of cows involved and Sam’s declining strength, he decided to turn the job over to his hired hand. Sam very carefully demonstrated the process to Joe and after removing the blow pipe he handed it to Joe with the instruction, “You try it.”
Joe took the pipe and carefully turned it around and proceeded to demonstrate his new found skill. After congratulating Joe for his success he asked, “Why did you turn the pipe end for end?” The quick reply: “You didn’t expect me to put the same end YOU used in MY mouth did you?”
