HAVE A LAUGH

COUNTRY HELP

AN out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area.

Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy. He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, “Pull, Nellie, pull!”

Buddy didn’t move. Then the farmer hollered, “Pull, Buster, pull!”

Buddy didn’t respond. Once more the farmer commanded, “Pull, Coco, pull!” Nothing. Then the farmer nonchalant­ly said, “Pull, Buddy, pull!”

And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch. The motorist was most appreciati­ve and very curious.

He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times. The farmer said, “Oh, Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn’t even try!”.

GHOST PHOTO

An intrepid photograph­er went to a haunted castle determined to get a picture of a ghost which was said to appear only once in a hundred years.

Not wanting to frighten off the ghost, the photograph­er sat in the dark until midnight when the apparition became visible.

The ghost turned out to be friendly and consented to pose for one snapshot.

The happy photograph­er popped a bulb into his camera and took the picture.

After dashing into his studio, the photograph­er developed the negative and groaned. It was under-exposed and completely blank.

The spirit was willing, but the flash was weak.
