What about pullets? Are you allowed to pull pullets?
So the young man walk away from the farm store with the chicken in one arm, the rooster in the other and the donkey following close behind. all of a sudden, the donkey stops walking and the man doesnt' know what to do. if he scratches the donkey, he'll have to let one of the birds loose and it'll get away. just then a really pretty girl walks by and the man says to her, "could you hold my cock and pullet while i scratch my ass?"
Great joke.
There's even a song along those lines....
