Back on course for the jokes...
A farmer in Alexandria Louisiana bought a lottery ticket. He didn't win the grand prize but he got enough to fix up his house and some other things he needed done. He had enough money left over to buy three more milk cows for his growing herd, so he went to a place selling high-producing cows in Carencro Louisiana. He bought the three cows, took them home, and gave them some time to get used to their surroundings.
After a couple of days it was time to milk them, so he milked the rest of his cows, then tried the new ones. For the first cow, he got her settled, put down his stool and bucket, and touched her teats. The cow immediately passed such a violent bout of gas that he thought lightning must have struck nearby. However, from the incredible odor, he knew it was the cow. He continued with his work and the cow produced excellent milk.
The second and third cows? Same thing - the first time he touched their teats, they farted with a roiling, odoriferous, echoing thunderclap of a fart. But they gave good milk. He was surprised but then again, he knew he wasn't the smartest farmer in the world. He just knew that something was wrong.
The next two days, the same thing happened. The three new cows gave great milk but on first touch of their teats, they all farted but then immediately settled down. Finally, he said to himself, "I know that ain't right. I'll ask my neighbor if he's ever heard of this kind of thing with cows."
The next morning, the neighbor came over. The farmer said, "Now watch this." He then proceeded to demonstrate how the cows would pass noxious, noisy farts.
The friend said, "You got those cows from Carencro, didn't you?"
The farmer, astounded, said "Yes, but how did you know?"
The friend said, "My wife was born there."
