I was in the barn earlier pulling a calf out of a cow, fishing down deep to grab both hooves. My unibrow was dangerously close to the wrong end of the digestive tract when a salesman walked in. “I’m up to my neck in vagina. Could you hold on a sec. while I pull out ?” ---

Ah, yes smell that nice country air. Yep I can tell the manure is finally thawing out. Just stop in at the four corners Zette and ask for directions to the funnee farm. That should give the locals some giggles. 🙂 ---

(Farmers can be so impatient sometimes.)\*\* Well occasionally the front legs won’t be straight and you have to rearrange limbs until everything points in the right direction. Why back when I was a little tike I remember my dad having a problem with a calf. He couldn’t get all the legs straightened out so me being quite small and all he had me take a deep breath and crawl in there after it. Quite roomy in there, nice and warm, no wonder the calf didn’t want to come out. Me exaggerate ? Noooo. ---

Funnee, since I’m in musical mode today, have you ever heard the early 1930s song “Misery Farm?” We’ve got a farm, a barn of a farm, right in the middle of a swamp. T’ain’t any charm in our little farm, right in the middle of a swamp. Nothing’s grown since the day we came— Misery Farm is our farm’s name! We’re miserable, so miserable, down on Misery Farm! So are the animals, so are the vegetables, down on Misery Farm! We can’t make hay, the hens won’t lay— Work all day and we get no pay! We’re miserable, so miserable, down on Misery Farm! ---

As for ‘Misery Farm’, I haven’t heard it but I’ve heard similar lyrics at virtually every auction I’ve attended.
