Roy the Rooster
This farmer has about 200 hens, but no rooster,
and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road
to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster
which he would sell.
The other farmer says, "Yeah, I've got this great
rooster named Roy. He'll service every chicken
you got, no problem."
Well, Roy the rooster costs a lot of money, but the
farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Roy.
The farmer takes Roy home and sets him down in
the barnyard. He gave the rooster a pep talk,
"Now Roy, I want you to pace yourself now.
You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and
you cost me a lot of money. I'll need you to do a
good job. So, take your time and have some fun,"
the farmer said, with a chuckle.
Roy seemed to understand, so the farmer points
toward the hen house, and Roy took off like a shot.
WHAM! Roy nails every hen in the hen house three
or four times--and the farmer is really shocked.
After that the farmer hears a commotion in the duck
pen. Sure enough, Roy is in there.
Later, the farmer sees Roy after a flock of geese.
Once again, -WHAM! He nails every gander in sight.
By sunset he sees Roy out in the fields chasing quail
and pheasants.
The farmer is distraught -- worried that his expensive
rooster won't even last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer
goes to bed and wakes up the next day, to find Roy dead
as a doorknob -- stone cold in the middle of the yard.
Buzzards are circling overhead.
The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and
expensive animal, shakes his head and says,
"Oh Roy, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you
to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."
Roy opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling
in the sky and says, "Shhhh, they're getting closer...
