Animals in the Outback

A motorist was driving quietly along the road in the Australian outback when suddenly, his eyes boggled as, believe it or not, he espied a three-legged chicken running beside him. It suddenly made a right hand turn, and headed up a side track towards a nearby farm house.

Intrigued, the motorist decided to follow the chook. At the end of the track, he met a farmer leaning on a gate.

The motorist said, “You probably won’t believe this, but I reckon I saw a three-legged chook running this way.”

The farmer was nonchalant in response. “Yep, we breed them here.”

“But why?” asked the motorist.

“Well, you see, I like a leg, my wife likes a leg, and me son likes a leg.”

“And what do they taste like?”

“Dunno”, replied the farmer, “no one can catch the little bastards.”
