Horse or cow
Prior to taking retirement and selling off his land, a farmer needed to get rid of all the animals he owned, so he decided to call on every house in his village. At houses where the man was the boss, he gave a horse; at houses where the woman was the boss, he gave a dairy cow.
Approaching one cottage, he saw a couple gardening and called out, ‘Who’s the boss around here?’
‘I am,’ said the man.
The farmer said: ‘I have a black horse and a brown horse. Which one would you like?’
The man thought for a minute and said, ‘The black one.’
‘No, no, get the brown one,’ said his wife.
The farmer said, ‘Here’s your cow.’
