Morning all

JOTD

A detective was once called to a farm in rural Tennessee to investigate a murder. [OC]

Upon arriving, he asked the farmer what had happened.

“Well” the farmer said, “I was working in my barn, replacing the oil filter on the tractor when I heard somebody scream, then a loud ‘wham’, and then silence. I rushed outside and saw my farmhand, dead in the middle of the yard, with a pool of blood forming around his head”

“Hmmm” said the detective, “any witnesses who might have seen what happened?”

“There weren’t any people around, but there was my old faithful cow Mary, my trusty farm dog Darren, my horse, Geoffrey, and a couple of sheep, Michael and George. When I asked them who did it, they just looked accusingly at each other”

“Right” the detective said, jumping to his feet “There’s only one way to get to the bottom of this - a battle of the bands”

The farmer was perplexed, but the detective had a fearsome reputation in the area for solving the hardest of crimes, where everyone else had given up. So, a few hours later, they reconvened in the yard where the farmer had built a makeshift stage as the animals bemusedly looked down at their instruments.

Mary the cow and Darren the dog were up first, with Mary singing so beautifully that the farmer and detective were brought to tears, while Darren accompanied on guitar.

Next, Geoffrey the horse strode onto stage and performed a flawless rendition of Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1. The farmer turned to the detective with tears in his eyes and said “surely, something so beautiful couldn’t have come from a murderer”.

Finally, at their turn, the sheep leapt onto stage, resplendent in sequinned jumpsuits and started tap dancing with incredible zeal. They leapt through the air, their sequins spinning like a rainbow in the night sky, tumbled, turned and kicked with unimaginable agility. But yet… something wasn’t right. Their movements didn’t match the music - sometimes they were ahead of the beat, sometimes behind.

“Stop!” yelled the detective. “We have our murderers! George, Michael - you’re never going to dance again!”

“But… how… how did you know?” asked the farmer incredulously.

“Quite simple really” said the detective and then, turning back to the sheep “Guilty sheep have got no rhythm”.

Joke of the day

Jack strode into ‘John’s Stable’ looking to buy a horse. “Listen here” said John, “I’ve got just the horse your looking for, the only thing is, he was trained by an interesting fellow. He doesn’t go and stop the usual way. The way to get him to stop is to scream heyhey the way to get him to go is to scream Thank God. Jim nodded his head, “fine with me, can I take him for a test run?”
Jim was having the time of his life this horse sure could run he thought to himself. Jim was speeding down the dirt road when he suddenly saw a cliff up ahead “stop!” screamed Jim, but the horse kept on going. No matter how much he tried he could not remember the words to get it to stop. “yoyo” screamed Jim but the horse just kept on speeding ahead. It was 5 feet from the cliff when Jim suddenly remembered “heyhey!” Jim screamed. The horse skidded to a halt just 1 inch from the cliff. Jim could not believe his good fortune, he looked up to the sky, raise his hands in the air, breathed a deep sigh of relief and said with conviction “Thank God.”

Morning, y’all.

I just took Lulu for a drag around the corner. Was hoping it would turn into a walk at some point but no luck today. Big gurh has to lose some weight at some point.

Someone catch me up.

I was out of high school about 5 years and watched on TV. I was old enough to be mentally involved in watching politics at the time so I understood the significance.

And thanks you to baw.




Morning good people of the OT.
