Michigan Cow
The only cow in a small town in southern Minnesota stopped giving
milk.
The local farmers did some research and found that they could buy a
cow
from Iowa for 200 dollars, or one from Michigan for 100 dollars.
Being frugal Swedes, naturally they bought the cow from Michigan.
The
cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all the time and the
people
were amazed and very happy.
The townspeople decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and
produce more cows like this wonderful Michigan cow. Then 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. No matter what
approach
the bull tried, the cow would just move away from the bull and he
could
not succeed in his amorous quest.
The townspeople were very upset and decided to ask a local retired
professor who was very wise in such complicated matters just what
they
should do. They told the professor what was happening.
"Whenever the bull approaches cow, she moves away. If he
approaches
from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from
the
front, she moves to the back. An approach from the side and she
just
walks away to the other side."
The retired professor thought about this for a minute and then asked,
"Did you buy this cow from Michigan?" The townspeople were
dumbfounded,
since they had never mentioned where they had gotten the cow.
"You are truly a wise professor," they said. "How did you know we
got
the cow from Michigan?" The professor answered sagely, "My wife
is from
Michigan..."
