Comic of the Day

Raising Sheep the Hard Way

Someone told this joke at work today, gave me a good laugh.

A Welsh man buys several sheep, hoping to breed them for wool.

After several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant, and phones a vet for help.

The vet tells him that he should try artificial insemination.

The farmer doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and instead will lie down and wallow in grass when they are pregnant.

The man hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the sheep himself. So, he loads the sheep into his Land Rover, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back, and goes to bed.

Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he deduces that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the Land Rover again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs each sheep twice for good measure, brings them back, and goes to bed exhausted.

Next morning, he wakes to find the sheep still just standing round. Try again. he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up, and drive them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the sheep and upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed.

The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look out of the window. He asks his wife to look, and tell him if the sheep are lying in the grass.

"No", she says, "they're all in the Land Rover, and one of them is beeping the horn"

Summer comes to a close...

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and that includes summer. It just seemed like yesterday that there was 10 feet of snow out on the lawn, and pretty soon before we know it, that awful stuff will be back. But I don't really want to think about that. Autumn is almost as beautiful as spring, where every changing leaf is like a flower. The air is crisper, the days get shorter, Thanksgiving and Halloween approach. All of this means that retail stores start to get busy with the approaching Christmas season. I don't want to think about that either.
There were several things that depressed me this summer:
- work has been utterly unpleasant, renovations are horrid, and I wouldn't wish them upon anyone. The employees are bitter, and the customers are nasty. We work our asses off, but there's always a few customers who are unappreciative.

- the weather. 'Nuff said. Atlantic Canada + summer= FOG. There was more days of rain and fog this summer than I can count. Definitely affects a persons mood.

- no one wanted to do anything, or was too busy. Summer is all about bonfires, and camping, and staying up late looking at the stars. Having cold drinks with good friends and sharing good coversation, hell, even just their company is good enough. Didn't really have a lot of that this summer.



There were a couple fun times this summer. The Parkhill's Annual Luau was a success despite the crappy weather. And I had one of the best weekends at my parents all summer: boating, barbecue, and just relaxing. Away from the city. Beautiful weather too. Couldn't have asked for more.
So as summer 2009 draws to a close, we must remember that the cold weather can't last forever and summer will return to us next year. Until then, enjoy the final days.
