A kid goes into the mountains for his first job herding sheep.
The friendly sheepherder introduces him to the flock, bedding them down for the night just before supper.
That night around the campfire, the new kid says: "Boy, I sure miss my girlfriend."
"No problem, young feller!" the sheepherder says, "jes pick out one of them ewes and have at 'er."
"Oh, I couldn't do that," the kid says, "you'd laugh at me!"
"No, no, no, young feller! I do it all the time, m'self. Jes have at 'er!"
"Promise you won't laugh?"
"I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die," sheepherder says.
Later that night the kid sneaks out to the flock and picks out a ewe. Having his way with her, he is startled by peals of hilarious laughter.
Still mounted, he looked at the sheepherder and said, " You promised you wouldn't laugh!"
"I know I did, sonny, but you picked the ugliest one in the herd!" |
