Surprise!
Little ten-year-old Freddie goes for a long weekend with his uncle, a wealthy
farm owner.
One evening, as Uncle John and his wife are entertaining
guests with cocktails, they are interrupted by an out-of-breath Freddie who
shouts out, "Uncle John! Come quick! The bull is f*cking the cow!"
Uncle John is highly embarrassed by his nephew's language and, taking young
Freddie aside, explains that a certain amount of decorum is required.
"You
should have said, 'The bull is surprising the cow' - not some filth that you've
picked up in the playground," he says.
A few days later, Freddie comes in again as his aunt and uncle are entertaining.
"Uncle John! The bull is surprising the cows!"
The adults share a knowing grin.
Uncle John says, "Thank you, Freddie, but surely you meant to say the cow, not
cows. A bull cannot 'surprise' more than one cow at a time, you know…"
"Yes, he can!" replies his obstinate nephew. "He's f*cking the horse!" |
