Banta needs a bull to service his buffaloes but needs to borrow the money from the bank. The banker who lent the money comes by a week later to see how his investment is doing. Banta complains that the bull just eats grass and wont even look at the buffaloes. The banker suggests that a veterinarian have a look at the bull. The next week the banker returns to see if the vet helped. Banta looks very pleased, "The bull has serviced all my buffaloes, broke through the fence, and has serviced all my neighbor's buffaloes." "Wow," says the banker, "what did the vet do to that bull?" "Just gave him some pills," replied Banta. "What kind of pills?" asked the banker. "I don't know," says Banta, "but they sort of taste like peppermint." |
