Little Freddie
Little ten-year-old Freddie goes for a long week-end with his uncle, a wealthy Hampshire farm owner. One evening, as Uncle John and his wife are entertaining guests with cocktails, they are interrupted by an out-of-breath Freddie who shouts out, “Uncle John! Come quick! The bull is fucking the cow!”
Uncle John, highly embarrassed, takes young Freddie aside and explains that a certain decorum is required. “You should have said, ‘The bull is surprising the cow’ - not some filth picked up in the playground,” he says.
A few days later, Freddie comes in again as his uncle and aunt are entertaining. “Uncle John! The bull is surprising the cows!” The adults share a knowing grin.
Uncle John says, “Thank you Freddie, but surely you meant to say the cow, not COWS. A bull cannot ’surprise’ more than one cow at a time you know…”.
“Yes he can!” replies his obstinate nephew, “He’s fucking the horse!”
