Horse or cow
Prior to taking retirement and selling off his land, a
farmer needed to
get rid of all the animals he owned, so
he decided to call on every house in his village. At houses
where
the man was the boss, he gave a horse; at houses
where the woman was the boss, he gave a dairy
cow.
Approaching one cottage, he saw a couple gardening
and
called out, ‘Who’s the boss around here?’
‘I am,’ said the
man.
The farmer said: ‘I have a black horse and a brown
horse. Which one would you like?’
The man thought for a
minute and said, ‘The black one.’
‘No, no, get the brown
one,’ said his wife.
The farmer said, ‘Here’s your cow.’
