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 ain't 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 'em till I run him off or kill 'im, but I AM 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 had just 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 an
argument."
They look over at their young friend, the 3rd bull, and find him pawing the dirt, shaking his
horns, and snorting -- the bull's equivalent of an Ape's beating his chest or Man's bone-chilling, war-like cry of "Stay
away from my Woman, Vato!!
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 , Mister, he can have ALL MY COWS.
I'm just
making sure he knows I'M a bull!" |
