I believe this is what you are looking for: A farmer bought several sheep, hoping to breed them for lamb meat and wool. After several weeks, he noticed that none of the sheep were getting pregnant and called a vet for help. The vet told the farmer that they were all females so he should try artificial insemination. The farmer didn't have the slightest idea what this meant, but, not wanting to display his ignorance, he only asked the vet how he would know when the sheep were pregnant. The vet told him that they would stop standing around bleating and would instead all lie down in a group. The farmer hung up and gave this some thought. He came to the conclusion that artificial insemination meant that he had to impregnate the sheep. So, he loaded the sheep into his truck, drove them out into the woods, had sex with them all, brought them back and went to bed. Next morning, he woke up and looked out at the sheep. Seeing that they all were still standing around bleating, he concluded that the first try didn't take, and so loaded them into the truck again. He drove them out to the woods, banged each sheep twice for good measure, brought them back and went to bed. Next morning, he awakened to find the sheep still standing around bleating. One more try, he told himself, and proceeded to load them up and drive them out to the woods. He spent all day shagging the sheep and, upon returning home, fell exhausted into bed. The next morning, he could not even raise himself from the bed to look at the sheep. He asked his wife to look out and tell him if the sheep were lying down in a group. "No," she said, "they're all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn." |
