My spouse really is from Canada (I've not been yet) but I thought
someone would have recognized the meaning behind the reference:
The only cow in a small town in southern Colorado stopped giving milk .
The farmers did some research and found that they could buy a cow from
Illinois for 200 dollars, or one from Canada for 100 dollars.
Being frugal they bought the cow from Canada. The cow was wonderful.
It produced lots of milk all the time, and the people were amazed and
very happy. They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and
produce more cows like it.
Soon they would never have to worry about the milk supply again. They
bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow.
However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away.
No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the
bull and he could not succeed in his quest. The people were very upset
and decided to ask a local engineer, who was very wise, what to do.
They told the engineer what was happening. "Whenever the bull
approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back,
she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off.
An approach from the side and she just walks away to the other side."
The engineer thought about this for a minute and asked, "Did you buy
this cow in Canada?" The people were dumbfounded, since they had never
mentioned where they had gotten the cow.
"You are truly a wise engineer," they said. "How did you know we got
the cow from Canada?" The engineer answered sadly, "My wife is from Canada."
