A Joke a Day

Aus dem Langenscheidt Sprachkalender 2006 "A Joke a Day"

And this one is my favourite:

A farmer is drowning his sorrows in a bar. The barman asks him what‘s the matter. „I was milking my cow, Daisy, this morning ‚‘‘ says the farmer, „when she kicked her left leg and knocked over the milk bucket.“
„That‘s not so bad,“ says the barman. „No, but I tied her left leg to a post to stop her doing it again, and she kicked over the bucket with her right leg, so I tied that to another post.“
„That‘s not so bad either,‘‘ says tthe barman.“No,“ replies the farmer, „but then she knocked the bucket over with her tail so I took off my belt and tied her tail up out of the way.“
„That‘s still not so bad,“ says the barman. „No“, replies the farmer, „but that‘s when my trousers fell down and my wife walked in.“
