picked up this little gem yesterday - perhaps it's already well-known to most americans .
president and mrs. calvin coolidge were visiting a chicken-farm .
mrs. coolidge noticed that the rooster was rather busy having his way with the hens .
she asked the farmer who gave them a guided tour : "tell me , my good man , how often does the rooster have his way with the hens in a day ? " .
"oh , haven't really counted , but i'd say about twenty to thirty times a day , mam " , replied the farmer .
"would you mind telling that to mr. coolidge ,please " , said the mrs .
so the farmer did .
"so it's the some old hen all the time ?" , asked the pres .
"oh no , always a different one , mr president " , replied the farmer .
"please tell that to mrs. coolidge " , said the pres .
i was reading in bed and just couldn't stop chuckling - finally had to tell mrs. h :wink:
