Three Bulls Heard Via The Grapevine

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 ‘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

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:

“Ahem…You know, it’s actually been some time since I

really felt I was doing all my cow’s 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. First Bull: “Son, let me

give you some advice real quick. Let him have some of your

cows and live to tell about it.”
