A TV reporter traveled out to a remote farm to cover a piece on Mad Cow Disease. She tracked down an old local farmer to ask about its potential causes.
Reporter: "Thank you for speaking with me, sir. We’re looking into the root causes of Mad Cow Disease. Do you have any theories on what might be driving it?"
Farmer: "Well, let me ask you something first. Did you know a bull only mounts a cow once a year?"
Reporter: (shifting uncomfortably) "That’s… interesting, sir. But what does a bull’s mating cycle have to do with Mad Cow Disease?"
Farmer: "And did you know we milk that same cow twice a day?"
Reporter: (sighing) "Sir, I appreciate the farm trivia, but can we please get to the point?"
Farmer: "I am at the point, lady. If somebody yanked on your tits twice a day and only mounted you once a year, wouldn't you go crazy too?"
