An out-of-towner accidentally drives
his car into a deep ditch on the side of a country road. Luckily a farmer
happened by with his big old horse named Benny.
The man asked for help. The farmer
said Benny could pull his car out. So he backed Benny up and hitched Benny to
the man's car bumper.
Then he yelled, "Pull, Nellie,
pull." Benny didn't move.
Then he yelled, "Come on, pull
Ranger." Still, Benny didn't move.
Then he yelled really loud,
"Now pull, Fred, pull hard." Benny just stood.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said,
"Okay, Benny, pull."
Benny pulled the car out of the
ditch.
The man was very appreciative but
curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three
times.
The farmer said, "Oh, Benny is
blind, and if he thought he was the only one pulling he wouldn't even
try."
