The Monday Afternoon Club, an organization of wealthy city women, met
and decided that this month's outing was to be at a dairy farm. Most of
them had lived in the city all their lives, and had never seen such a
thing. The day came, and the ladies filed into the rented bus which
whisked them off to their destination. On the way, they watched out the
windows as the city squalor turned into lovely, unpolluted countryside.
After they arrived, they were greeted by the farmer who invited them to
look him up should they have any questions. Myrtle, after looking
about, and being amazed by what she saw, stepped into a building and
viewed something she thought was quite remarkable. She saw the farmer
walk by and hailed him - he sauntered in. "Sir," she inquired, "Why
doesn't this cow have any horns?"
The farmer cocked his head for a moment, then began in a patient tone:
"Well, ma'am, cattle can do a powerful lot of damage with horns.
Sometimes we keep'em trimmed down with a hacksaw. Other times we can fix
up the young 'uns by puttin' a couple drops of acid where their horns
would grow in, and that stops 'em cold. Still, there are some breeds of
cattle that never grow horns. But the reason this cow don't have no
horns, ma'am, is 'cause it's a horse."
