A CITY bloke drove his car into a ditch along a country road.

Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big, strong horse, named Buddy.

The farmer hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull." Buddy didn't move.

Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull." Buddy didn't respond.

Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Jennie, pull." Nothing.

Then the farmer said, "Pull, Buddy, pull," and the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.

The motorist was most appreciative and curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.

The farmer said, "Oh, Buddy is blind, and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try."

Milking it

A WOMAN read in Vogue magazine that a milk bath does wonders for your skin.

So she wrote a note asking the milkman to leave 100 bottles of milk for her next delivery.

The next day, the milkman saw the note and thought there must be an error in the number of zeros. But just in case, he knocked on the door and asked the woman to clarify the order.

She confirmed she wanted 100 bottles to fill her bath.

The milkman asked, "Do you want it pasteurised?"

"No," the woman replied, "just up to my neck."
