THE COUNTRY CORNER

ON THE FARM

An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled,
"Pull, Nellie, pull." Buddy didn't move.
Then the farmer hollered,
"Pull, Buster, pull." Buddy didn't respond.
Once more the farmer commanded,
"Pull, Jennie, pull." Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said,
"Pull, Buddy, pull." And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.
The farmer said,
"Oh, Buddy is blind, and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"


An Amish lady is trotting down the road in her horse and buggy when she is pulled over by a cop. "Ma'am, I'm not going to ticket you, but I do have to issue you a warning. You have a broken reflector on your buggy."
"Oh, I'll let my husband, Jacob, know as soon as I get home."
"That's fine. Another thing, ma'am. I don't like the way that one rein loops across the horse's back and around one of his balls. I consider that animal abuse. That's cruelty to animals. Have your husband take care of that right away!"
Later that day, the lady is home telling her husband about her encounter with the cop.
"Well, dear, what exactly did he say?" asked the husband.
"He said the reflector is broken." replied the Amish lady.
"I can fix that in two minutes. What else?" asked the husband.
The wife replied,
"I'm not sure, Jacob . . . Something about the emergency brake."
 
A farmer is sitting in the neighborhood bar getting soused. A man comes in and asks the farmer, "Hey, why are you sitting here on this beautiful day getting drunk?"
Farmer:
"Some things you just can't explain."
Man:
"So what happened that's so horrible?"
Farmer:
"Well, today I was sitting by my cow milking her. Just as I got the bucket about full, she took her left leg and kicked over the bucket."
Man:
"Ok, but that's not so bad."
Farmer:
"Some things you just can't explain."
Man:
"So what happened then?"
Farmer:
"I took her left leg and tied it to the post on the left."
Man:
"And then?"
Farmer:
"Well, I sat back down and continued to milk her. Just as I got the bucket about full, she took her right leg and kicked over the bucket."
Man:
"Again?"
Farmer:
"Some things you just can't explain."
Man:
"So, what did you do then?"
Farmer:
"I took her right leg this time, and tied it to the post on the right."
Man:
"And then?"
Farmer:
"Well, I sat back down and began milking her again. Just as got the bucket about full, when the stupid cow knocked over the bucket with her tail."
Man:
"Hmmm . . . "
Farmer:
"Some things you just can't explain."
Man:
"So, then what did you do?"
Farmer:
"Well, I didn't have any more rope, so I took off my belt and tied her tail to the rafter. In that moment, my pants fell down and my wife walked in."

It seems a farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon-load of corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise. "Hey Wilmer!" the farmer yelled. "Forget your troubles. Come in and have a bite with us. Then I'll help you get the wagon up."
"That's mighty nice of you," Wilmer answered. "But I don't think Pa would like me to."
"Aw, come on." the farmer insisted.
"Well okay," the boy finally agreed, and added, "But Pa won't like it."
After a hearty dinner, Wilmer thanked his host.
"I feel a lot better now, but I know Pa is going to be real upset."
"Don't be foolish!" the neighbor said with a smile. "By the way, where is your Pa?"
Wilmer replied,
"Under the wagon."
