An American farmer was on holiday in Wales. He could not resist exploring the hill farms north of Aberystwyth. At lunch time he dropped into a pub and fell into easy conversation with a Welsh farmer.
“How big is your spread?” asked the American.
“Well look you, it’s about twenty acres,” the Welshman said.
“Only twenty acres?” the American responded. ”Back in Texas I can get up at sunrise, saddle my horse and ride all day; when I return at supper time, I’ll be lucky to cover half my farm.”
“Sure, sure,” said the Welshman. ”I once had a horse like that, but I sent him to the knackers’ yard.”
Good one, Tilly.
not too sure on that one..maybe my sense of humour has withered like me!
Heard an Irish variation of that one many years ago, but cannot remember the punch line.
Fantastic …. !!! Love it. You have a great weekend now.
Excellent!
I so enjoy the periodic jokes I don’t understand. I didn’t get this one…and I think it’s a simple translation problem. I don’tknow the word “knackers.” I’ll look it up later! Ha! We speak a different English sometimes, don’t we? I find that kind of fun! Debra
