A ewe escaped the pasture through a hole in the fence. She was on the lam.
"I'll weld that fence but good," declared Tom brazenly.
Meanwhile, the mare was weaning her colt. She was exfoliating.
One of the cows would only feed her offspring in the morning. She could only put out half-calf.

Farm humor is always good humor. I was just with my amish friend and told him a few.
Cow with only two legs?
Lean Beef
Cow with no legs?
Ground beef
Cow that just gave birth?
Decalfenated.

Mess with the bull...

For those who didn't click on it, during a gravel bike event a large black bull with horns attacks a ridder. If not so sad it would be very funny. I am with @DaveMatthews and do not advise messing with a bull. A guy called this afternoon. He purchased six used 52V 20Ah rental scooter batteries and wants me to wire them all together, upgrade his controller and add a second Luna motor to his Ariel Rider. What could go wrong?

You could end up living through the lyrics of a Bruce Springsteen song.

A couple weeks ago I had the "pronoun" talk with my family. I made it clear, that when I have my back turned and working on something I will no longer respond to questions such as "Do you need this?" If they can't use the proper noun for something, forcing me to ask what, or turn around and look, I ain't answering anymore.

Ever been underneath a vehicle up to your shoulders in suspension parts, and someone comes out and asks "Do you need this?" without making it clear what "this" is? Even after asking what they're talking about it's still not clear so you have to crawl back out just to look at this, and find that it wasn't important anyway.??

I feel your pain. I've been fending off IVQs (impossibly vague questions) for 40 years now to no avail. Apparently, the problem isn't a matter of making questions answerable in the first place. It's that my TDD (telepathy deficit disorder) should've cleared up by now.
Tried ignoring IVQs, but they just get repeated verbatim on the theory that the only problem with the first one was that it wasn't loud enough. Other things that don't work...
1. Answering "Does not compute."
2. Giving obviously random answers.
3. Requiring questions on paper. (Careful here, texting only makes it worse.)
4. Threatening to buy another bike accessory for every additional question needed to answer the first one.
Good luck, my friend. I'm here for you.

I've started answering vague questions with even more vague answers. That's been having an effect. One of the kids asked me why I needed a grappling hook, I said so I can grapple. Where would you use it? Where ever I need to grapple.
I usually say "Depends on what it is."

I had a friend who left a voicemail that I could hear was a huge vague gripe from another room. She wanted me to call back so she could yell. Instead I emailed her to put her gripe into a concise email so that I could judge its merits. I didn't want to hear it. She would go on and on and if you turned your head to see a Ferrari go by, she would rant about me not listening. It had to end someway. I am glad it did. The worst was one time she was going on and on when I had a sudden epiphany about architecture.
