I received the following joke from a friend who in turn received it from someone else. It originated at www.mikeysFunnies.com
Years ago, I was a big city boy preaching in a small country town. I
wanted
to learn everything "country" so that I could fit in. As I was
searching for
Widow Jones' farm, I got lost on the back roads. I saw a farmer
walking into
his barn so I stopped for directions.
He was just
beginning to milk his cow but took time out to tell me how to
get to the
Jones' farm. "By the way, " I asked, "Do you know what time it
is?" He leaned
in to the udder of the cow and said, "12:30."
I started to leave but I
just HAD to know. I told him, "Hey, I've just moved
from the city and I
really want to know the ways of the country. How could
you tell what time it
was?"
"Sit right here on this stool, son." I did.
"Now, grab
hold of that udder." I did. (Before this, my closest experience
to this was
grabbing a milk carton).
"Now lean into the cow and lift up on the udder." I did.
"Lean over and look right over there on that wall. See
that's a clock. When
the little hand is on the 12..."
