A Rooster Named Ralph
A farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks.
So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he
has a rooster that he would sell.
The other farmer says, "Yep, I've got this great rooster, named
Ralph. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem."
Well, Ralph the rooster costs $3,000, a lot of money, but the
farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Ralph.
The farmer takes Ralph home and sets him down in the barnyard,
but first he gave the rooster a pep talk. "I want you to pace
yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here,
and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I'll need you to
do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun," the farmer
said, with a chuckle.
Ralph seemed to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen
house and Ralph takes off like a shot. WHAM! Ralph nails every
hen in the hen house - three or four times, and the armer is really
shocked. After that, the farmer hears a commotion the duck pen
and, sure enough, Ralph is in there. Later, the farmer sees Ralph
after a flock of geese down by the lake. Once again - WHAM!
He gets all the geese. By sunset he sees Ralph out in the fields
chasing quail and pheasants.
The farmer is distraught and worried that his expensive rooster
won't even last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed
and wakes up the next morning to find Ralph on his back out in
the middle of the yard, mouth open, tongue hanging out and both
feet sticking straight up in the air. Buzzards are circling overhead.
The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive
animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, Ralph, I told you to pace
yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've
done to yourself.
Ralph opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky
and says, "Shhhh! They're getting closer."
