        Shepherds

It's back at the turn of the century, and the shepherds are
headed up to the high country for summer pasture. A young
fellow is joining them for the first time.

On the first weekend, he asks the oldtimers about "going to
town for some action".  They shake their heads and disclaim
"sorry kid, it's too far-- you're up here for the summer". The
young man groans about his youthful vibrancy going to waste,
at which point  one of the vets waves his hand out to the flock
and says "well son, there's always the local lasses".  This
disgusts the kid, and he walks away in a huff.

Well, after a few weeks of frustration, the strapping lad's
frustrations become unbearable.  So, late one night he
ventures out to the meadow and accosts a likely suspect. 

The next morning over coffee, the lad decides to share his
tale.  Annnouncing to the gathered men "well, gents, I took your
advice; yesterday night I went out and did my business, with
that one right over there" (he points out a particular critter).

At this point the entire gathering bursts into laughter. The kid,
in obvious chagrin, inquires anxiously "surely you weren't jesting
when you informed me of your outlets?".  One of the older
folks, between laugher induced wheezes, gasps out ..
"but that's the ugliest one of the bunch!"
