Anything to make a sale (a story joke - and not what you think either!)
-
A traveling salesman for the farm cooperative had hit some pretty lean times. He visited all but a few farms on his route and hadn't sold a thing. Farmer Jones mentioned that the flies were biting his cows pretty bad this summer and salesman said he had just the thing, a brand new insect repellent from France. Farmer Jones was interested but he had to know for sure if it worked. The salesman said he could prove that it did. So he came back that evening, and stripped naked. He told Farmer Jones to tie him to a chair in his pasture, and spray him down with the repellant. The next morning, Farmer Jones went out to check on the salesman. His eyes were bloodshot, He was limp, covered in sweat, head hanging down, arms hanging lifeless, in short he was exhausted but not a bug bite on him. Farmer Jones asked "what happened?" The salesman looked up and said "Doesn't that damn calf over there have a mother?"
