Chicken Story >A farmer has about 200 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, "Yeah, I've got this great rooster, named Damian. >He'll service every chicken you got, no problem." >Well, Damian the rooster costs a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd >be worth it. So, he buys Damian. > >The farmer takes Damian home and sets him down in the barnyard, first >giving 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! > >Damian seemed to understand, so the farmer pointed toward the hen house and >Damian took off like a shot. WHAM! - Damian 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. Sure enough Damian >is in there. Later, the farmer sees Damian after a flock of geese, down by >the lake. Once again - WHAM! He gets all the geese. > >By sunset he sees Damian 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 >day, to find Damian on his back, stone cold in the middle of the yard. >Buzzards are circling overhead. > >The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colourful and expensive animal, >shakes his head and says, >"Oh, Damian, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, >now look what you've done to yourself." > >Damian opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and >says, >"Shhh, they're getting closer."
