Cows 4 Sale


I don't know what it is about cows and business - but here's another entry from my e-mail inbox....




Over the years, a farmer had purchased several cars and trucks from his local automobile dealer. One day, the car salesman contacted the farmer about buying a cow.




The farmer and the salesman negotiated, and the salesman bargained the farmer from his initial $750.00 asking price down to $499.95 and a contract was signed at that price.




However, on delivery, the farmer presented the car salesman with the following invoice:
