After a long day on the road, a traveling salesman named Mark goes to a farm house.
The farmer, Joe, says, "I'm not interested in buying anything but I could put you up for one night. Unfortunately you'll have to stay in the barn."
Mark agrees and spends the night in the barn.
The next morning Joe comes in and asks, "Were you comfortable?"
Mark goes, "I had a great time--I talked to all the animals."
Joe questions, "You talked to the animals?"
Mark says, "Yeah, I spoke to the chickens, they say you collect the eggs every morning exactly at five minutes after six."
Joe agrees, "That's exactly right."
Mark then says, "The horse tells me his name is Otis, you've owned him for 10 years."
Joe beams, "That's incredible."
Mark continues, "I spoke to the cow, the cow says that her name is Elsie and you milk her every morning at exactly 8:30. And then I spoke to the sheep..."
Interrupting, Joe stammers, "Those sheep are lying."
