Some Things You Just Can’t Explain
A farmer sits in the local bar, indulging in a few drinks. A man walks in and questions the farmer, saying, “Why are you here, getting intoxicated on such a beautiful day?”
The farmer responds, “Some things are just beyond explanation.”
The man persists, “What could have happened that’s so terrible?”
The farmer reluctantly shares, “Well, if you must know, today I was seated next to my cow, milking her. Just as the bucket was nearly full, she kicked it over with her left leg.”
The man downplays it, saying, “That’s not too bad. What’s the big deal?”
The farmer repeats, “Some things you just can’t explain.”
Undeterred, the man inquires further, “So, what happened next?”
The farmer recounts, “I tied her left leg to the post on the left with some rope and continued milking. But just as the bucket was nearly full again, she kicked it over with her right leg.”
The man, surprised, asks, “Again?”
The farmer, resigned, states, “Some things you just can’t explain.”
Curious, the man pushes on, “So, what did you do then?”
The farmer explains, “I tied her right leg to the post on the right and resumed milking. Just as the bucket was about to be filled, the foolish cow knocked it over with her tail.”
The man sympathizes, “You must have been pretty upset.”
The farmer replies, “Some things you just can’t explain.”
The man persists, “What did you do next?”
The farmer confesses, “I ran out of rope, so I used my belt to tie her tail to the rafter. At that moment, my pants fell down, and my wife walked in.”
