[nilesfunnies] Fw: Ralph the Rooster

A farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks. So, he
goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster that
he would sell.

The other farmer says, "Yep, I've got this great rooster, named Ralph.
He'll service every chicken you got, no problem.

Well, Ralph the rooster costs £3,000, a lot of money, but the farmer
decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Ralph.

The farmer takes Ralph home and sets him down in the barnyard, but
first he gave the rooster a pep talk. "I want you to pace yourself now.
You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of
money."

Consequently, I'll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and
have some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.

Ralph seems to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house
and Ralph takes off like a shot. WHAM! Ralph nails every hen in the hen
house three or four times, and the farmer is really shocked. After that,
the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen and, sure enough, Ralph is in
there.

Later, the farmer sees Ralph after a flock of geese down by the lake.
Once again - WHAM! He gets all the geese.

By sunset he sees Ralph out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The
farmer is distraught and worried that his expensive rooster won't even
last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next
morning to find Ralph on flat on his back out in the middle of the yard,
mouth open, tongue hanging out and both feet sticking straight up in the
air.

Buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of
such a colourful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh,
Ralph, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now
look what you've done to yourself."

Ralph opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and
says, "Shhhh! They're getting closer."
