This city fellow had just moved out to the country and decided that he
needed some animals, so he decided to walkup and down his road to see
what his neighbors had.

The first farm he came across had a bunch of  chickens running in the yard.
"Say farmer" the man yells, "Would you be willing to sell me one of your
chickens?" The farmer replies, "Sure, but around here we don't call 'em
chickens, we call 'em pullets".

The man thanks the farmer for the advice and picks up the pullet and
continues on down the road until he comes to the next farm where the
yard is full of roosters. "Say farmer", yells the man, "Would you be
willing to sell me one of your roosters?" "Sure", says the farmer, "but
around here we don't call 'em roosters, we call 'em cocks".

The man thanks the farmer and puts the cock under his other arm and
continues walking down the road. He soon spots a farm with a herd of
donkeys. "I could use one of those", he says . "Hey farmer", he yells "
Would you be willing to sell me one of your donkeys?" "Sure", says the
farmer "but around here we call them asses". The man takes the ass and
starts leading him away when the farmer yells, " Hey,sonny, that ass is a
little persnickity. If he decides to sit down all you have to do to get him
up again is scratch him behind his left ear."

Thanking the farmer yet again the man decides to head for home
with his animals. On the way the ass decided to sit down. The man was in
a bit of trouble, he had his pullet under one arm and his cock under the
other. If he put one down it would surely wander off. Now it just so
happened that a nun was just walking over the hill. The
farmer, spying her, quickly ran up to her.

 "Excuse me miss," he said. "Would you hold my cock and pullet while
I scratch my ass?"
