  1. Local Fairs

    Share Share Post
    When a man is going to a fair with a cow he has a certain price in his head. A buyer comes up to him and asks him how much for the cow. The farmer asks a bigger price than he has in his head. The buyer will not give the farmer asks. Then a neighbour comes up and says divide the difference that is between. The buyer holds out his hand and the farmer hits it.
