This farmer had a sick cat and called the
Vet in town to see what could be done for it. The Vet asked the farmer what the problem
was. After being told, the Vet told the farmer to give it a pint of castor oil.
The farmer asked, "A whole pint?"
and the Vet replied, "Sure, that'll fix it right up."
The next day the Vet saw the farmer in town
and asked him how the sick calf was getting along.
"You fool!" the farmer exclaimed,
"That wasn't a calf, it was a cat."
The Vet said, "Oh my goodness, did you
give it the whole pint of castor oil?"
"Sure did," the farmer replied.
"What happened? Where's the cat
now?" asked the Vet.
The farmer, pointing, said, "The last
time I saw that cat, he was going over yonder hill with five others, two were digging, two
were covering up, and one was scouting for new territory."
