..since the last one no doubt went down some.
There was the story about the Jewish village in Lithuania, where the villagers needed to get a cow, one that was a good milker.
"Where should we go to buy it" they wondered. "Moscow?". "It's too expensive. How about Minsk?"..
..and so the new cow was brought over from Minsk and continued to provide the village with gallons of milk.
But it wasn't going to last forever and so the question arose of providing successor cows with the same lactative qualities. So the villagers put the cow in a field with a bull and waited for nature to run its course.
Only it didn't. Try as they might they couldn't get the cow to get it on. So they went to see the wisest inhabitant in the village, the old Rabbi, Moishe.
"We've put this cow in the field and nothing's happened".
"Nothing?" he asked.
"Yeah, we tried putting the cow in front of the bull, but it's approaches were rebuffed and so we tried putting it behind the bull.."
"And?" asked Moishe.
"Same thing happened".
"Did you try placing the cow at the side of the bull?"
"Yes, all to no avail. It just refused all advances".
Moishe pondered for a bit.."is the cow from Minsk?" he asked?
"yeah, it is, how did you guess" asked the villagers, surprised.
"My wife's from Minsk" said Moishe.
It’s it’s the thorgt that counts…
