A farmer and his brand new bride were riding home from the chapel in a wagon pulled by a team of horses, when the older horse stumbled. The farmer said, Thats once. A little further along, the poor old horse stumbled again. The farmer said, Thats twice. After a little while the poor old horse stumbled again. The farmer didnt say anything, but reached under the seat, pulled out a shotgun and shot the horse. His brand new bride scolded him, That was an awful thing to do! The farmer said, Thats once.
