            "joke": "A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every house in his town. \nTo the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given. \nHe got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. \"Who's the boss around here?\" he asked. \n\"I am.\" said the man. \n\"I have a black horse and a brown horse,\" the farmer said, \"which one would you like?\" \nThe man thought for a minute and said, \"The black one.\" \n\"No, no, no, get the brown one.\" the man's wife said. \n\"Here's your chicken.\" said the farmer."

            "joke": "A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no\r\nlessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and then\r\nhorse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and\r\nrhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the\r\nsaddle. In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get\r\na firm grip.\r\nShe tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down\r\nthe side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly\r\nimpervious to its slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, she\r\nleaps away from the horse to try and throw herself to safety.\r\nUnfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup and she is now\r\nat the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is battered\r\nagainst the ground again and again. She is mere moments away from\r\nunconsciousness when...\r\n ...the Wal-Mart manager runs out to shut the horse off."
