The Scottish Cow
The only cow in a small town in Ireland stopped giving milk.
Then the town folk found they could buy a cow in Scotland quite cheaply.
So, they brought the cow over from Scotland.
It was absolutely wonderful, it produced lots of milk every day and
everyone
was happy.
They bought a bull to mate with the cow to get more cows, so they'd
never
have to worry about their milk supply again.
They put the bull in the pasture with the cow but whenever the bull
tried to
mount the cow, the cow would move away.
No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the
bull, and he was never able to do the deed.
The people were very upset and decided to go to the Vet, who was very
wise,
tell him what was happening and ask his advice.
"Whenever the bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away. If he
approaches
from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front,
she
backs off. If he attempts it from the one side, she walks away to the
other
side."
The Vet rubbed his chin thoughtfully and pondered this before asking,
"Did
you by chance, buy this cow in Scotland?"
The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever mentioned that they
had
brought the cow over from Scotland.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did you
know we got the cow from Scotland?
The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye,
"My wife is from Scotland
