I think the third graders would get a big kick out of this one...
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 bout 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
I got the bucket about full, the stupid cow knocked over the
bucket
with her tail.
Man: Hmmm...
Farmer: Some things you just can't explain.
Man: So, 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.....
Some things you just can't explain.
