Three bulls heard via the grapevine that the rancher was going to
bring yet another bull onto the ranch, and the prospect raised a
discussion among them.
First Bull: "Boys, we all know I've been here 5 years. Once we
settled our differences, we agreed on which 100 of the cows would be
mine. Now, I don't know where this newcomer is going to get HIS
cows,
but I aint' givin' him any of mine."
Second Bull: "That pretty much says it for me, too. I've been
here 3
years and have earned my right to the 50 cows we've agreed are mine.
I'll fight 'im till I run him off or kill 'im, but I'M KEEPIN' ALL
MY
COWS."
Third Bull: "I've only been here a year, and so far you guys
have
only let me have 10 cows to "take care of". I may not be
as big as you
fellows (yet) but I am young and virile, so I simply MUST keep all
MY
cows."
They no sooner finished their big talk when an eighteen-wheeler
pulls
up in the middle of the pasture with only ONE ANIMAL IN IT: the
biggest Son-of-Another-Bull these guys had ever seen! At 4700
pounds,
each step he took toward the ground strained the steel ramp to the
breaking point.
First Bull: "You know, it's actually been some time since I
really felt
I was doing all my cows justice, anyway. I think I can spare a few
for
our new friend."
Second Bull: "I'll have plenty of cows to take care of if I
just stay
on the opposite end of the pasture from HIM. I'm certainly not
looking
for argument."
They look over at their young friend, the 3rd bull, and find him
pawing the dirt, shaking his horns, and snorting.
First Bull: "Son, let me give you some advice real quick. Let
him
have some of your cows and live to tell about it."
Third Bull: "Hell, he can have ALL MY COWS. I'm just making
sure he
knows I'm a bull!"
