A feller from St. John’s drove his car into a ditch out around da bay. <>
Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy. <>
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, “Pull, Nellie, pull!” Buddy didn’t move.<>
Then the farmer hollered, “Pull, Buster, pull!” Buddy didn’t respond.<>
Once more the farmer commanded, “Pull, Coco, pull!” Nothing.<>
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, “Pull, Buddy, pull!” And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.<>
The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. <>
He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.<>
“Well… Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn’t even try!”<>
