13. The Texas Aggie joke
Sun Oct 11, 2020, 02:07 PM
Oct 2020

A young man enrolled in the Sheep Husbandry program at Texas A&M. Ten weeks into the program, the professor addressed the class. “Starting Monday, we put our theory into practice. Everyone must bring in a lamb and we will raise them to market weight.”

Our hero thought lambs would be really expensive, so he decided to find someone who’d give him one. He started driving through the countryside until he found a sheep ranch, then approached the farmer. “I am a poor college student learning sheep husbandry, and I need a lamb for my studies. If I can tell you exactly how many sheep you have, will you give me one?” The farmer agreed.

The kid went off in the field, made some calculations and came back. “You have 1,428 sheep and lambs.”

“That’s right. How did you do that?” The kid showed the farmer this complex sheep density formula. “Oh, never mind...get yourself a lamb and good luck with your studies.” The student picked up an animal and headed back to his truck.

“Young man, how about we do double or nothing?”

“What?”

“If I can tell you what university you attend, I get the animal back; if I miss, you get another one.”

“Okay.”

“You attend Texas A&M.”

“How did you do that?”

“You’re carrying my dog.”
