The Fully Equipped Cow
The story is told about a farmer who went into an automobile dealership to buy a stripped-down model and ended up with all the bells and whistles. The $14,000 standard car turned into a $22,000 luxury vehicle. He loved all the extras, but frankly, he had exceeded his budget. A few months later he had a chance to at least partially balance the scale. The salesman who sold him the car showed up at his farm to buy a cow. After carefully looking the herd over, he made his choice and asked, “How much?”

The farmer pleasantly replied that the price was $395. The salesman was pleased and said he would take the cow. The farmer went into his shed, figured the details, came back out, and presented the salesman with the bill totaling $920.20. Needless thought you told me that the price was $395!” The farmer assured him that was the price of the standard cow, but this one came equipped with a two-tone genuine leather cowhide cover for an additional $95. There was an extra stomach built in to increase capacity and performance, which as $110. The attached flyswatter was $35, and at $15 each the four milk dispensers came to an extra $60. The colorful dual horns at $20 each came to $40, and the automatic fertilizer plant, guaranteed for life, was another $125, for a total of $465. The tax was $60.20, so the total bill was $920.20.

I am certain many of you, as you read this, feel a degree of empathy with the farmer. Maybe the smile you get from the story and the fact that you can share it with others will reduce some of the pain that goes, on occasion, with overspending your budget. Go ahead. Have a good laugh.
