A farmer wanted to have his hens serviced, so he went to the market looking for a rooster. He was hoping he could get a special rooster, one that could service all of his many hens. He told this to the market vendor. The vendor replied, "Here's the Tom, the horniest rooster you will ever see!" So the farmer took the rooster back to the farm. Before setting him loose in the henhouse though, he gave Tom a little pep talk. "Tom", he said, "I'm counting on you to do your stuff." And without a word Tom strutted into the henhouse. Tom was as fast as he was furious, mounting each hen like a thunderbolt. There was much squawking and many feathers flying, till Tom had finished having his way with each hen. But Tom didn't stop there. He went in to the barn and mounted all the horses, one by one and still at the same frantic pace. Then he went to the pighouse, where he did the same. The farmer, watching all of this with disbelief, cried out, "Stop, Tom,you'll kill yourself." But Tom continued, seeking out each farm animal in the same manner. Well, the next morning, the farmer looked out and saw Tom lying there on his lawn. His legs were up in the air, his eyes rolled back, and his long tongue hanging out. A vulture was already circling above Tom. The farmer walked up to Tom saying, "Oh you poor thing, look what you did, you've gone and killed yourself. I warned you my little buddy." "Shhhhh," Tom whispered. "The vulture's getting closer." |
