THE SHEEP

A MAN WALKS INTO HIS LOCAL

BUTCHER'S SHOP AND COMPLAINS

ABOUT THE LEG OF LAMB

THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY BOUGHT,

WHEN I COOKED IT, THE JOINT HAD

SHRUNK SO MUCH IT WENT FROM

12 INCHES LONG TO ONLY 4-INCHES.

THE BUTCHER SAID TO THE MAN

THAT’S FUNNY MY WIFE KNITTED ME A

SWEATER AND WHEN SHE WASHED IT,

IT WAS ALSO 4-INCHES IN LENGTH.

WHAT’S YOUR SWEATER GOT TO DO

WITH MY LEG OF LAMB ASKED THE MAN.

THE BUTCHER REPLIED

WELL THEY BOTH MUST HAVE COME

FROM THE SAME SHEEP.
