OK, this was the perfect lead to something funny I heard last night...
It was Mike Rowe working on his "Dirty Jobs" TV program and they were talking
about eating Olives with the farmer... The conversation came off so smooth, I
have to wonder if it was set up. Here is how it went.
Mike: "I wonder how anybody figured out that olives are good for you when they
taste sooooo bad, straight off the tree"?
Farmer: "Well, somebody figured out Cows Milk was good for you, I wonder who
milked a cow for the first time"?
Mike: "It was a Bull!"
[after a snicker and a short pause the farmer came back with...]
Farmer: "I wonder why they tried it a second time"?
Mike: "The bull kept coming back"? !!!
I laughed my butt off...
