Buddy
An out-of-towner slid on an icy road drove his
car into a ditch.
Luckily, a local farmer came to
help with his
big strong horse named Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car and
yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull."
Buddy didn't move.
Then the
farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull." Buddy didn't
respond.
Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Jennie, pull."
Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull." And the horse
easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The motorist was
most appreciative and very curious. He asked the
farmer why he called
his horse by the wrong name three times.
The farmer said, "Oh,
Buddy is blind, and if he thought he was the
only one pulling, he
wouldn't even try!"
Sounds like a lot of people that I've met.
