Cow Joke

On a farm out in the country lived a man and a woman and their

three sons.

Early one morning, the woman awoke, and while looking out of

the window onto to the pasture, she saw that the family's only

cow was lying dead in the field. The situation looked hopeless

to her -- how could she possibly continue to feed her family

now?

In a depressed state of mind, she hung herself. When the

husband awoke to find his wife dead, as well as the cow, he too

began to see the hopelessness of the situation, and he shot

himself in the head.

Now the oldest son woke up to discover his parents dead (and

the cow!), and he decided to go down to the river and drown

himself.

When he got to the river, he discovered a mermaid sitting on

the bank. She said, "I've seen all and know the reason for your

despair. But if you will have sex with me five times in a row,

I will restore your parents and the cow to you."

The son agreed to try, but after four times, he was simply

unable to satisfy her again. So the mermaid drowned him in the

river.

Next the second oldest son woke up. After discovering what had

happened, he too decided to throw himself into the river.

The mermaid said to him, "If you will have sex with me ten

times in a row, I will make everything right." And while the

son tried his best (seven times!), it was not enough to satisfy

the mermaid, so she drowned him in the river.

The youngest son woke up and saw his parents dead, the dead cow

in the field, and his brothers gone. He decided that life was a

hopeless prospect, and he went down to the river to throw

himself in.

And there he also met the mermaid. "I have seen all that has

happened, and I can make everything right if you will only have

sex with me fifteen times in a row."

The young son replied, "Is that all? Why not twenty times in a

row?"

The mermaid was somewhat taken aback by this request. Then he

said, "hel_l, why not twenty-five times in a row?" And even as

she was reluctantly agreeing to his request, he said, "Why not

THIRTY times in a row?"

Finally, she said, "Enough!! Okay, if you will have sex with me

thirty times in a row, then I will bring everybody back to

perfect health."

Then the young son asked,

"Wait! How do I know that thirty times in a row won't kill you like it did the cow?"
