How not to complain!

The old farmer was most proud of two things: his prize bull and his amazing bird dog.

Driving home from the Cattle competition at the county fair with a blue ribbon on the dash, the bird dog on the seat beside him and the bull in the bed of the pickup, the farmer was smiling from ear to ear.

As the trio was approaching home, a tire blew on the truck and into the ditch they went. All three were thrown from the vehicle – the bull to the back, the dog to the side and the farmer toward the front.

What a mess, the farmer did inventory of his injuries. He wasn’t able to move.

The bull was bellowing in pain, the dog was yelping from his injuries. Surely, neither one could survive such bodily damage.

Just then a State Trooper, happens on the accident scene. Seeing the condition of the bull, he pulls out his service revolver and –

BANG!!!

The Trooper turns his attention to the bird dog –

BANG!!!

Then moving to the front of the truck, the Trooper asked the farmer, “How do you feel?”

The farmer immediately jumped to his feet, “Never better in my life!!!”
