An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse,Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie , pull!"
Buddy didn't move.
Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Jackson, pull!"
Buddy didn't respond.
Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Coco , pull!"
Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!" The horse easily pulled the car from the ditch.
Appreciative yet curious, the motorist asked the farmer why he had called his horse by the wrong name three times.
"Well... Buddy is blind, and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!" |
