"TWO" what???
Is that like the old German settler in Kansas who ordered himself a mail order bride. When she arrived at the rail station he went to pick her up with his horse drawn wagon. Without saying a word he loaded her stuff and they started home. About half way there they came to a little bridge and the horse refused to cross until the guy got down, cussed a bit, and led the animal across by hand. He looked the horse in the eye and said, "That's one."
They went a bit further down the road. A rabbit ran across the road, the horse reared back and nearly dumped the wagon. After the horse calmed down, the Kraut got out, went to the front of the horse, looked him in the eye and said, "That's two." He got back in the
wagon and they continued on.
All of a sudden a large branch fell from a tree and landed beside the horse. The poor animal spooked and tore down the trail. The farmer finally got him under control and stopped the wagon. He got down, walked to the front of the horse, looked him in the eye and said, "That's three." He then pulled his pistol and shot the horse dead on the spot.
The new bride had been sitting quietly during the entire trip, but when the gun went off she began to carry on something awful. She screamed at the farmer for being a horrid man for shooting the poor horse and so on.
The farmer calmly looked at her and said, "That's one." |
