How Now Brown Cow?
A city girl, who recently purchased a neighboring property, pulls up to a fence in her fancy SUV, stops, spots an animal, then calls out to the seasoned farmer.
“Mister, how come this brown cow doesn’t have any horns?”
The farmer leans on a post, takes a moment to respond, then turns back to her with the patience of a man who’s already answered the question umpteen times.
“Well now, ma’am, lemme educate ya. Some folks saw them horns off with a hacksaw. Others drip little battery acid on the nubs when they’re babies to prevent growing sharp points."
"This particular animal right here?” He gives the animal a fond pat on the neck.
“This one ain’t hornless on account of saws, acid or good breeding, darlin’."
"Cuz it’s a horse, a course.” He tips his hat, sighs and gets back to work.
