Common Sense Evaluation

They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull, and he could not succeed in his quest.

The people were very upset and decided to ask the vet, who was very wise, what to do. They told the vet what was happening. “Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away,” they said. “If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side, and she walks away to the other side.”

The vet thought about this for a minute and asked, “Did you buy this cow in Saskatchewan?”

The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where they bought the cow. “You are truly a wise vet,” they said. “How did you know we got the cow in Saskatchewan?”

The vet replied with a distant look in his eye, “My wife is from Saskatchewan.”
