The old farmer was in the barn working on his tractor. He was sitting on a milk crate, packing a wheel bearing, when a salesman from the local farm supply store came to visit him.
The salesman was an amateur ventriloquist, and after he determined the farmer wasn’t going to buy anything, he decided to have some fun with the old farmer.
The salesman walked over to the stall where the horse was and asked, “Hey horse, how’s the farmer treat you?”
Then using ventriloquism he makes the farmer think the horse answers with, “I wish the farmer would put more oats in my feed.”
The salesman goes to the stall where the cow is and asks, “Hey cow, how’s the farmer treating you?” Then using ventriloquism he makes the farmer think the cow answers with, “I wish the farmer would warm his hands before he starts to milk me on these cold mornings.”
The farmer is watching the salesman as he walks over to the stall where the pig is, and the salesman says, “Hey pig, how’s the farmer treat you?” Then using his ventriloquism he makes the farmer think the pig answers with, “The farmer treats me good, but I know he’s only feeding me well so he can kill me and put me in the freezer to eat.”
The farmer is paying real close attention to the salesman as the salesman walks to the next stall where the sheep are. The salesman asks the sheep, “Hey sheep, how’s the farmer treat you?”
The farmer jumps up from the milk crate he’s sitting on and says to the salesman, “Don’t believe a word those sheep say! You know how sheep lie!”
