~ Cows and Pickups~
(Plus: Today in History and Word for the Day.)

A wise old Saskatchewan farm boy went to town to trade for a pickup truck he saw advertised in the paper for an unbelievably low price.

After showing the salesman which truck he wanted, they sat down to do the paperwork.

The salesman handed the farmer the keys and the bill, to which the Sask. farm boy angrily declared,

"This ain't the price I saw!"

The salesman went on to tell the wise old farmer how he was getting extras such as power brakes, power windows, special tires etc. and that made the final price higher.

The farmer wanted only that truck and no other, so he begrudgingly paid the price and drove it home.

A few months later, the salesman called the Farmer;

"My son is in 4-H and he needs a cow for a project. Do you have any good cows for sale?"

"Yep, I've a few good cows priced to sell at $500 each. Come on out and take your pick."

The salesman said he and his son would be right out.

After spending a few hours in the field checking out all the farmer's cows, they decided on one
and the salesman proceeded to write a check for $500.

"Now, wait a minute, that's not the final price of the cow. You're gettin' extras and you have to pay for those, too!"

"What extras?" asked the salesman.

"I think you'll find all you're gettin' listed here!"
