Joke – Cock-a-doodly-doo!
This farmer has about 200 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 which he would sell. The other farmer says “Yeah, I’ve got this great rooster
named Randy. He’ll service every chicken you got, no problem.”
Well, Randy the rooster costs a lot of money, but the farmer decides he’d be worth it, so he buys Randy and
takes him home where he sets him down and gives him a pep talk, “Randy, 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, so I’ll need you to do a good job.
Okay, go out there, take your time and have some fun,” the farmer ends with a chuckle.
Randy seems to understand, so the farmer points to the hen house and Randy takes off like a shot. WHAM!
Randy mates with every hen in the hen house three or four times, and the farmer is shocked. After that the farmer
hears a commotion in the duck pen, and sure enough, there’s Randy. Later on the farmer sees him after the
geese down by the lake and, once again, WHAM, he gets all the geese and by sunset is out in the fields chasing
the quail and pheasants.
The farmer is distraught – worried that his rooster won’t even last 24 hours.
Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next morning to find Randy dead as a doorknob – stone
cold in the middle of the yard and there are buzzards circling overhead.
The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colourful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, “Oh,
Randy, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you’ve done to yourself.”
Randy opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says, “SHHH, they’re getting closer…..”
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
