A traveling slaesman's car suddenly stopped running in a very rural area, far from town. He pulled to the side of the gravel road, got out, and opened the hood hoping to see a problem, even though he knew very little about things mechanical. As he stood there, head poked under the hood, he heard a voice, "I think your fan belt is broke." He stood up, banging his head on the hood, and looked around. No one. So he began to inspect his stalled engine again, and again heard the voice, "It's your fan belt, it's broke." Careful this time, he stood up and there was no one there. He looked skyward thinking maybe he was being called home. Then, he looked at the cow on the other side of the fence, she looked back, and said again, "You're fan belt is broke." A little unnerved now, the salesman turned and began walking to the distant farmhouse, hoping to get some help. As he arrived, the farmer came to the front door and the salesman recounted his story. The farmer thought for a minute and asked, "Was that a very large black and white cow?" "Why, yes," replied the salesman only slightly relieved from his ordeal. Then the farmer said, "Ah, that's just Ethel. Don't pay any attention to her. She doesn't know anything at all about cars."

By Golly Nab - that's a good'un!!!! :D

Those poor darn city slicker salesman always seem to get confused (or out smarted) when they visit those country folks.

Good story.
