An old farmer was sitting in a bar one evening, drinking like there was no tomorrow, looking like he'd just lost his best friend. Being a quiet evening, the bartender stopped after serving up the farmer's tenth drink to ask him what was wrong, why he looked so glum.

The farmer looked up from his drink, shook his head and said, "No sir, there are some things you just can't explain."

This piqued the bartender's curiosity, so he asked again, saying he was a pretty understanding guy, maybe he could help.

So, the farmer downs his drink and says, "Well, this morning, I was out milking my cow, just like always. Well, I got the bucket almost full, and the stupid cow kicked the bucket over. So, I got a piece of rope I had handy, and tied her leg to a beam, and started again. Got the bucket almost full again, damn cow kicked the bucket over with her OTHER foot. So, I got another peice of rope, tied that leg to another beam, and started over. This time, I had the bucket all the way full, just getting ready to pick it up, when the cow swished down her tail and knocked it over again. By this time I was so angry I just lost my temper, I dragged the stool over behind the cow, yanked off my belt, jumped up on the stool, and tied the cow's tail to the rafters. Right then, my pants fell down around my ankles, and my wife walked into the barn to see what was taking me so long. Yessir, there are some things you just can't explain."
