An email from a friend that I thought was worth sharing;
Dept of water and Rancher

A Department of Water representative stopped at a ranch and talked with
an old rancher. He told the rancher, “I need to inspect your ranch for
your water allocation.”

The old rancher said, “Okay, but don’t go in that field over there.”

The Water representative said, “Mister, I have the authority of Federal
Government with me. See this card? The card means I am allowed to go
WHEREVER I WISH on any agricultural land. No questions asked or
answered. “Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?”

The old rancher nodded politely and went about his chores. Later, the
old rancher heard loud screams and saw the Water Rep Running for the
fence and close behind was the rancher’s bull. The bull was gaining on
the Water Rep with every step. The Rep was clearly terrified, so the
old rancher immediately threw down his tools, ran to the fence and
shouted out…..

“Your card! Your card! Show him your card!”

Hahahahahahaha! Good one!

Here’s another:

This traveling bug repellent salesman comes to a farm, he hasn’t made a sale all week and is starving. He’s willing to deal. “Look” he tells the farmer, “You strip me naked, tie me up and spray me down with this bug repellent. Then I’ll spend the night in the pasture. Come morning, if I have one single bug bite on me, I’ll give you a whole case! Otherwise, you buy a whole case.”

Farmer figures this is an easy deal, so he strips him down, ties him up, sprays him all over and puts him in the pasture. Even gives him a chair to sit on so he won’t get cramped.

Next morning comes and the farmer finds the salesman totally exasperated and lying bound, in the grass. “Did the bugs get ya?” says the farmer. “No the bugs wouldn’t come near but doesn’t that damn calf have a mother?!”

How about another:

The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service
were presenting an alternative to Wyoming ranchers for
controlling the coyote population. It seems that after
years of the ranchers using the tried and true methods of
shooting and/or trapping the predators, the tree-huggers
had a “more humane” solution.

What they proposed was for the animals to
be captured alive, the males would then be castrated and
let loose again. Therefore the population would be
controlled. This was ACTUALLY proposed to the Wyoming Wool
and Sheep Grower’s Association by the Sierra Club and
the USFS.

All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of
minutes. Finally, an old boy in the back of the conference room
stood up, tipped his hat back and said, “Son, I don’t think you
understand our problem. Those coyotes don’t want to have sex
with our sheep – they’re eatin’ ‘em!” .

A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. The farmer had genuinely tried to be friendly to his new mother-in-law, hoping that it could be a friendly, non-antagonistic relationship. To no avail, she kept nagging them at every opportunity, demanding changes, offering unwanted advice and making life unbearable to the farmer and his new bride.

While they were walking through the barn, the farmer’s mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly.

At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something.

Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, however, he would
shake his head, no and mumble a reply.

Very curious as to this bizarre behavior, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about.

The farmer replied, “The women would say, ‘What a terrible tragedy’ and I would nod my head and say, ‘Yes, it was.’

The men would ask, ‘Can I borrow that mule?’ and I would shake my head and say, ‘Can’t. It’s all booked up for a year.’

A Smooth-Talking Salesman

A keen country lad applied for a salesman’s job at a city department store.
In fact it was the biggest store in the world – you could get anything
there.

The boss asked him, “Have you ever been a salesman before?”

“Yes, I was a salesman in the country,” said the lad. The boss liked the
cut of him and said, “You can start tomorrow and I’ll come and see you when
we close up.”

The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5 o’clock came
around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, “How many sales did you make
today?”

“One,” said the young salesman.

“Only one,” blurted the boss, “Most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale worth?”

“Three hundred thousand dollars,” said the young man.

“How did you manage that?” asked the flabbergasted boss.

“Well,” said the salesman, “this man came in and I sold him a small fish
hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook. Then I sold him a
small fishing line, a medium one, and a huge big one. I asked him where he
was going fishing and he said down the coast. I said he would probably need
a boat, so I took him down to the boat department and sold him that twenty
foot schooner with the twin engines. Then he said his Volkswagen probably
wouldn’t be able to pull it, so I took him to the car department and sold
him the new Deluxe Cruiser.”

The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, “You sold all that
to a guy who came in for a fish hook?”

“No,” answered the salesman “He came in to buy a box of Tampons for his wife
and I said to him, ‘Your weekend’s shot, you may as well go fishing.’”

A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfort able cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax… OH, MY GOD!’ Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!’
A passenger in Coach yelled, ‘That’s nothing. You should see the back of mine!

During taxi, the crew of a US Air departure flight to Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. The irate ground controller (a female) lashed out at the US Air crew screaming “US Air 2771, where are you going? I told you to turn right on ‘Charlie’ taxi way; you turned right on ‘Delta’. Stop right there. I know it’s difficult to tell the difference between C’s and D’s but get it right”.
Continuing her lashing to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically, “You’ve screwed everything up; it’ll take forever to sort this out. You stay right there and don’t move until I tell you to. You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about a half hour and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you. You got that, US Air 2771??”

Naturally, the ‘ground control’ frequency went terribly silent until an unknown male pilot broke the silence and asked, “Wasn’t I married to you once?”

A bank robber went into a Northern Savings and Loan in Minnesota. He was wearing a flimsy clown mask that just barely covered his face. He stuck his revolver into the face of a teller and demanded all the money in her drawer.

As she was filling up his bag, his mask slipped off his face, he quickly turned, and put the mask back on.

He then asked the Teller “Did you see my face?” She noded and he pulled the trigger killing her instantly.

The bank robber then turned to the man behind him in line and asked him, “Did you see my face?”

“Yes, I did. I will not say a word, you can trus…”

The robber shot him dead.

He then turned to the next man in line and asked the same question. “Did you see my face?”

The man shook his head, pointed to his left and said “No sir, but my wife did”
