the bull

A farmer went to the local bank to borrow money for a new
bull. The loan was made and the bank manager, who lent the money, came by a week later to see how the bull was doing.

The farmer complained that the bull just ate grass and
wouldn't even look at a cow.

the bank manager suggested that he have a veterinarian take a look at the bull.

Next week the bank manager returned to see if the vet had helped.
The farmer looked very pleased. "The bull has serviced all
of my cows! He broke through the fence, and bred all my
neighbor's cows! He's been breeding just about everything in
sight. He's like a machine!"

"Wow," said the bank manager, "what did the vet do to that bull?"

"Just gave him some pills," replied the farmer.

"What kind of pills?" asked the bank manager.

"I don't know, but they kind of taste like peppermint."
