The Replacement

Considering that I have spent as much time on farms as a karaoke lounge, I am wondering why I am suddenly writing so many farm-based jokes today. Oh well ...

A man was driving along a quiet country road when suddenly a rooster flew out of nowhere right into his path.

He was unable to brake in time and the rooster was suddenly roadkill. Shaken and contrite, the man pulled over at the nearest farmhouse where the rooster undoubtedly came from and knocked on the door.

The farmer appeared at the door.

"Yes?'

"I'm ... I'm terribly sorry but there was an accident ... and I'm afraid I killed your rooster. Please allow me to replace him."

The farmer said, "Suit yourself. The hens are round the back."
