**George, the farmer, had so many children that he ran out of names.  So he started calling his kids after something around his farm.  It was the first day of school and the teacher asked each child their name.  When he got to one of the farmer George’s sons, the boy replied, “Wagon Wheel.”  The teacher said, “I need your real name boy, to which the lad replied, “It’s Wagon Wheel, sir….Really.”  The teacher, rather annoyed rejoined, “Alright young man, take yourself right down to the Principal’s office this minute.”  The youngster pushed himself out of his chair, turned to his sister and said, “C’mon Chicken Feed,” he ain’t gonna believe you, either.”

**A rancher walks into a bar and sits next to a rugged old guy with a hat. He says, “I just had the hardest day rounding up my cattle.” The rugged guy responds, “Oh yeah?  I’m a rancher too. I got a couple hundred acres down by the creek.” The rancher brags, “Not bad, not bad, but I can get in my truck in the morning, start driving, and I won’t reach the end of my ranch until the next day.” The rugged guy looks at him with pity and says, “I feel you. I used to have a truck like that too.”

**Old ranch owner John farmed a small ranch in Montana. The Montana Wage and Hour Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his workers and sent an agent out to interview him.

“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” demanded the agent.

“Well,” replied old John, “There’s my ranch hand who’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a week plus free room and board. Then there’s the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90 percent of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night.”

“That’s the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit,” says the agent.

“That would be me,” replied old rancher John.

**A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwestern town that he planned to visit on vacation. He wrote, “I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?” An immediate reply came from the hotel owner. “I’ve been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I’ve never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or picture off the walls. I’ve never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for you, you’re welcome to stay here as well.”
