several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant,
and phones a vet for help.
The vet tells him that he should try artificial insemination. The farmer
doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to
display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep
are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and
instead will lie down and wallow in grass when the are pregnant.
The man hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the
conclusion
that artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the sheep
himself.
So, he loads the sheep into his Land Rover, drives them out into the
woods, has sex with them all, brings them back, and goes to bed.
Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are
all still standing around, he deduces that the first try didn't take, and
loads them in the Land Rover again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs
each sheep twice for good measure, brings them back, and goes to bed
exhausted.
Next morning, he wakes to find the sheep still just standing round.
Try
again, he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up, and drive them
out to the woods. He spends all day banging the sheep and upon
returning home,
falls listlessly into bed.
The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look out
of the window. He asks his wife to look, and tell him if the sheep are
lying in the grass.
No, she says, They're all in the Land Rover, and one of them is beeping
the horn.
