An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolate area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy.
Â
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull!"
Â
Buddy didn’t move.
Â
Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!"
Â
Buddy didn’t respond.
Â
Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Cocoa, pull!"
Â
Nothing.
Â
The the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!" And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
Â
The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.
Â
The farmer said, "Oh, Buddy is blind, and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn’t even try!"
