Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse’s legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Johnny asked:
— Dad, why are you doing that?
His father replied:
— Because when I’m buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.
Johnny, looking worried, said:
— Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.
