This is Random Joke Number 001
---------------------------------------------
A young man grew fed up with modern life and decided to leave the big city
and become a shepherd, spending months in the seclusion of the distant
mountains alone with his thoughts and sheep. So he went up the high
mountains where he found three older shepherds with a big flock of
sheep, and asked them to show him the ropes. The shepherds agreed.
The young man spent a week with them. One evening by the fire he asked
casually,"So how do you guys get by with no women around here?"
Said one of the men,"Why, with so many sheep around, who needs women?"
The youngster shuddered: "Yak! How horrible! How can you...?"
The three men only smiled and said nothing.
Another week passed and one morning the young man realized that the
tension in his groin had grown unbearable. He remembered what the men had
said, and looking at the sheep, thought, "Hmm, why not after all...".
He chose a moment when none of the older shepherds were around, and grabbed
one of the nearest sheep. However, the others showed up in a minute, and
seeing him with the sheep burst out laughing.
"What? What?!!", shouted the young man, blushing. "You told me that's what
you did yourselves, didn't you??!"
"Yeah, sure! But to choose the ugliest one??!"
