One Day on the Farm...

One spring day as a farmer was loading his prize ewe into the back of his truck, his young son asked him what he intended to do. Recognizing this as an opportunity for one of life's lessons, the farmer explained, "Well, Jimmy, the farmer down the road has a prize ram. So I'm taking the ewe there to get it served." Still too young to fully understand, Jimmy said,"OK dad, thanks."

A few days later the farmer was loading a cow into the back of the truck, when little Jimmy happened by again. "Where you taking the cow dad?" asked Jimmy. "The farmer down the road has a prize bull, so I'm taking the cow there to be served."

Again this satisfied Jimmy's curiosity and he happily ran off to shoot porcupines.

Once again a few days later while the farmer was loading his sow into the truck, Jimmy asked again. "Where ya goin' now, dad?" He answered, "The farmer across town has a prize boar and I'm taking the sow to be served."

Finally Jimmy asked "What's that all mean, dad?" So the farmer sat down in the barnyard and explained all the facts of life to little Jimmy. When he finished, he asked, "So now do you have anymore questions."

To which little Jimmy replied, "So when a politician says, "Send me to Washington to serve you." Now I know what he really means!!!"
