repellent. He came to a farmhouse and tried his pitch on the farmer.

"Sir, my bug spray is so good you will never be bitten again. I guarantee
it."

buck naked, covered with that bug spray. If there is not a single bite on
you come morning, I'll buy a whole case from you. And get everyone in the
county to buy a case......we will make you rich.

The salesman was delighted.

They went to the field and he stripped. The farmer sprayed him thoroughly

farmer. The next morning, the farmer and his family trooped out to the
cornfield. Sure enough, the salesman was there, hanging in his bonds, not
a single bite on him. Yet he was a total wreck!

Pale, ghastly, haggard, and drawn, but not one bite on him. The farmer was
perplexed. "Son," he said, "Now, you don't have a bite on you but you look
like hell! What the devil happened?" The salesman looked up through
bloodshot eyes and croaked,

"Doesn't that calf have a mother?
