One evening, as Uncle John and his wife are entertaining guests with cocktails, they are interrupted by an out-of-breath Freddie who shouts out,
"Uncle John! Come quick! The bull is f*cking the cow!"Uncle John, highly embarrassed, takes young Freddie aside and explains that a certaindecorum is required.
"You should have said, "The bull is surprising the cow"- not some filth you picked up in the City, " he says.
A few days later, Freddie comes in again as his uncle and aunt are entertaining.
"Uncle John! The bull is surprising the cows!"
The adults share a knowing grin. Uncle John says, "Thank you Freddie, but surely you meant to say the cow, not *cows*. A bull cannot "surprise" more than one cow at a time you know. . .".
"Yes he can!" replies his obstinate nephew, "He’s f*cking the horse!"
