A fella was in the market to buy some acreage.  He found just
what  he was looking for, but it was a little expensive.  During
an inspection of the property, however, he found a hive of bees.

     He told the owner that he was deathly afraid of bees, and there 
was no way he could consider this piece of land.  The landowner 
assured him that the bees were completely harmless, but the buyer 
would have no part of it.

     Finally, the landowner made an offer.  The buyer would allow
himself to be tied to a tree for an hour, nude, under the nest.  So 
sure of the friendliness of his bees was the farmer that if ONE bee 
were to sting him, the farm would be his for free. The buyer thought 
it over and decided it was worth the risk.

     An hour later, the farmer walked out to the tree and saw the
poor buyer slumped over in his bindings.  Fearing the worst,he ran 
up to him and asked him if he had been stung.

     The city fella looked up and weakly said, "No, but doesn't that
calf have a mother?"
