True life funnies

Thought I would share this delightful story from a book I'm currently reading... (when I can stop giggling!)...

Farmer's little son was woken in the middle of the night to see the birth of a black Angus calf. The vet had suggested that it was about time the boy saw this miracle of nature. The boy stood on a bale of hay in the cattle shed, staring in the half light as the great cow strained to deliver her calf. The small, wet, furry bundle soon arrived & the vet, wet with perspiration & with a triumphant look on his face, had gently wiped the calf's mouth & then held up the new-born creature for the little boy to see. John had stared wide-eyed.
"What do you think of that?" the vet had asked him. "Isn't that a wonderful sight?"
John had thought for a moment before replying. "How did it swallow the dog in the first place?" he had asked.

(from The Other Side of the Dale by Gervase Phinn).

Hi Cheaver and forum members, it as just a couple of days ago that I and the other half were discussing things we were told when we were kids and the answers/ questions we gave, most were greeted with a right hand. here are a few
1.....eat all your carrots, you will be able to see in the dark......a) are we expecting another power cut then?
2.....after leaving food on my plate I would be told "there are people in Africa that would be grateful for that".....a) you can use my pocket money to send it if you like, but it might have gone rotten by the time it gets there.
3.........children should be seen and not heard......a)silence......whack!..did you hear me?
4.....when I was 12 we moved from a town to a small village in the country. after the local farmer had liberally covered a field in muck and the smell wafted through the village my father said "now that's a healthy smell".......a) well if that's a healthy smell, why were we not born with our noses just above our bum?
Now getting on a bit, but I made a point when my children were growing up not to repeat any of the sayings that were said to me as I,m sure I would have got similar or better replies.
