Cav, if I remember rightly, I was not the only one. Cheque mate.
The Gustavratzenhofer story reminds me of the time I went to call on him. I knocks on the door, a small kid opens the door, I asked where Gustavratzenhofer was. The kid didn't say a word and just pointed to the garage.
I goes round and opens the door and finds Gustavratzenhofer with a goat!! Completely flabbergasted, I slams the door shut and flies out and yells, "Do you know Gustavratzenhofer's with a goat? Do you know what they're doing? Doesn't this bother you?" To which the little kid replied, "Ba a a a ah!"

Ossobucodo, do you have blond hair?
I only ask because a cute blonde became so sick of hearing blonde jokes that she had her hair cut and dyed brown. A few days later, as she was out driving around the countryside, she stopped her car to let a flock of sheep pass.
Admiring the cute wooly creatures, she said to the farmer called Gustavratzenhofer, "If I can guess how many sheep you have, can I take one?"
Gustavratzenhofer, always the gentleman, said, "Sure!"
The blonde thought for a moment and, for no discernible reason, said, "352."
This being the correct number, Gustavratzenhofer was, understandably, totally amazed, and exclaimed, "You're right! O.K., I'll keep to my end of the deal. Take your pick of my flock."
The blonde carefully considered the entire flock and finally picked the one that was by far cuter and more playful than any of the others.
When she was done, Gustavratzenhofer turned to her and said, "O.K., now I have a proposition for you. If I can guess your true hair color, can I have my sheep dawg back?"
