A blonde drives up to a farmer who is standing in his field with his flock of sheep. She says to the farmer, if she can tell him how many sheep there are, within ten, can she have one? He tells her to go for it, and she tells him 123. He is amazed and tells her to get a sheep. As she is leaving he says, you missed by 24, and can I have my dog back? That is why white shepherds don't herd sheep. It is a blonde thing. Evan L.
