Young Dave was courting Mabel, who lived on an adjoining farm out west in
cattle country.

One evening, as they were sitting on Dave's porch watching
the sun go down over the hills, Dave spied his prize bull doing the
business on one of his cows.

He sighed in contentment at this idyllic rural
scene and figured the omens were right for him to put the hard word on
Mabel.

He leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "Mabel, I'd sure like to be
doing what that bull is doing."

"Well then, why don't you? "Mabel whispered back. "It is YOUR cow."
