Feeling Sheepish
A man buys several sheep, hoping to breed them for wool. After several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant, and calls a vet for help.
The
vet tells him that he should try artificial insemination. The farmer doesn't
have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his
ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep are pregnant. The
vet tells him that they will stop standing around and instead will lie down and
wallow in grass when they are pregnant.
The
Man hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that
artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the sheep. So, he loads the
sheep into his lorry, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all,
brings them back and goes to bed.
Next
morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are all still
standing around, he deduces that the first try didn't take, and loads them in
the lorry again. He drives them out to the woods, has sex with each sheep twice
for good measure brings them back and goes to bed.
Next
morning, he wakes to find the sheep still just standing around. One more try, he
tells himself, and proceeds to load them up and drive them out to the woods. He
spends all day having sex with the sheep and, upon returning home, falls
listlessly into bed.
The
next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look at the sheep. He
asks his wife to look out and tell him if the sheep are lying in the grass.
"No,"
she says, "they're all in the lorry and one of them is beeping the
horn."
