A ventriloquist is bicycling the backcountry and needs a place to stay. He comes to a farm and decides to try to entertain in return for a night's lodging. He approaches the farmer and says that he can make the animals talk and will do so for a night's stay. The farmer smiles and says "Son, animals can't talk! But you're certainly welcome to try!"
So the ventriloquist walks over to the horse and says "Betcha the horse has a story for me."
The farmer bellylaughs and says "Horses can't talk! That's a crock!"
Our hero pet's the horse's nose and says "Horse, how do you like it here?"
With a deep Mr. Ed voice, the horse seems to answer "Oh, it's alright. I have to pull the wagon, but I get all the oats I can eat and a dry place to sleep."
The farmer is silenced by this display, but roars with laughter when the guy approaches the pig. "Pigs can't talk - even a city boy oughtta know that!"
Undeterred, our hero asks the pig how it's going.
With a grunting lisp the pig says "Oh it's grand. I got mud and I got straw - and Farmer's wife gives me really choice scraps!"
The farmer is impressed and undecided. One more demonstration is required, and just then the sheep appear at the gate.
The ventriloquist goes for the gate when the farmer runs around to his front, grabs his arms and exclaims:
"The sheep are filthy liars!"
