The only cow in a small town in Massachusetts stopped giving milk. The
people did some research and found they could buy a cow in Bushville,
Texas for $200.
They bought the cow from Texas and the cow was wonderful. It produced
lots of milk all of the time, and the people were pleased and very
happy.
They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more
cows like it. They would never have to worry about their milk supply
again.
They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow.
However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move
away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away
from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.
The people were very upset and decided to ask the Vet, who was very
wise, what to do. They told the Vet what was happening.
"Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he
approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her
from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and she walks
away to the other side."
The Vet thinks about this for a minute and asked, "Did you buy this
cow in Texas?"
The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where they
bought the cow.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did you know we got the
cow in Texas?"
The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye, "My wife is from Texas.
