THE OHIO COW
The only cow in a small town in Arkansas stopped giving milk. The
people did some research and found they could buy a cow up in Canton, Ohio for
$200.00. They bought the cow from Ohio and the cow was wonderful. The cow
produced lots of milk all of the time, and the people were pleased and very
happy.
They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more
cows so they would never have to worry about their milk supply again.
They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow.
However whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No
matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull
and he could not succeed in his quest.
The people were very upset and decided to ask the Vet, who was very
wise, what to do. They told the Vet what was happening. "Whenever the bull
approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back,
she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off.
An approach from the side and she walks away to the other side."
The Vet thought about this for a minute and asked,
"Did you buy this cow in Ohio?"
The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where
they bought the cow.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said.
"How did you know we got the cow in Ohio?"
The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye,
"My wife is from Ohio."
