A wise old farmer went to town to buy a pickup truck that he saw advertised in the paper for a certain price. After telling the salesman which truck he wanted, they sat down to do the paper work. The salesman handed the farmer the bill and the farmer declared "This isn't the price I saw". The salesman went on to tell the wise old farmer how he was getting extras such as power brakes and power windows, special tires and etc. and that is what took the price up. The farmer needed the truck badly, so he paid the price and went home.
A few months later, the salesman called the wise old farmer and said that his son needed a cow for his 4-H projuct and if he had any for sale. The farmer said "Yes, I have a few cows and I would sell them for $500 a piece. Come look at them and take your pick." The salsman came over with his son and after spending a few hours in the field checking out the farmer's cows, the two decided on one and the salesman proceeded to write out a check for $500. The farmer said, "Now, wait a minute, that is not the final price of the cow. You're getting extras with it and you have to pay for that too." "What extras?" asked the salesman. Below is a list of the extras that the farmer gave the salesman...
