A bear and a rabbit are conscripted into the army.
As they're waiting for their physical checkup, the rabbit whispers to the bear, "Hey, I don't wanna go off to fight in a war. Can you just give me a light kick before we go in so that I am limping when the doctor sees me?" The bear says, "Okay, if you'll do the same for me. I don't want to go fight a war either." The rabbit agrees.
The bear discreetly gives the rabbit a kick. It lands squarely in the shin. The rabbit doesn't even have to pretend when he hobbles in to see the doctor. The doctor takes one look at him and says, "Nope, the army can't use you."
The rabbit leaves elated, and, true to his word, returns to the waiting room to kick the bear as hard as he can. Unfortunately, the rabbit is a rabbit and the bear is a bear. The bear doesn't even feel it. This is followed by the rabbit spending the next fifteen minutes punching and kicking the bear with everything he's got. But at the end of that, all he has managed to acomplish is to give the bear a nosebleed.
Finally the nurse comes in to take the bear. The bear, dejected, thanks the rabbit for doing what he could and follows the nurse inside. The doctor takes one look at him and says, "Nope, the army can't use you."
The bear is elated but can't help asking, "Why? Is it because of this one little nosebleed?"
"No," says the doctor. "It's because the nurse saw you getting your butt kicked by a limping rabbit."

50 loads
Still pretty wet around our area! Sale was a little soggy but a nice crowd came out. Volume is sticking around that 50 load marker as some hay is still to wet to get out. Market overall down a little today in all classes except for cornstalks which were higher. See you next week @ 12:30. REMINDER. NO SALE THANKSGIVING WEEK.

A man was eating grass in a park.
A billionnaire's limo was driving by, and the rich man told his driver to stop. He asked the poor man: "Sir, why are you eating grass?" "I don't have any money sir, I cannot buy food, so I just eat grass". The billionnaire was disgusted: "It's awful that you're eating grass like that! Please, let me take you to my place and feed you." The man warms up to his generosity, but objects: "Sir, my wife and children are also eating grass elsewhere in the park. I cannot abandon them like that." "Oh My", says the billionnaire, "your whole family is feeding on grass here? This is unacceptable. If you wish, I can take all of you to my place for dinner." The poor man is in awe, but he asks: "Sir, my wife and I have 5 children, are you sure you can provide food for all 7 of us?" "Oh, don't worry", says the billionnaire, "I have 50 acres of grass in my property!"
