Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 One time there was a Frenchman that came to the U.S. and got a job on a ranch. He was green and unschooled in the ways of a ranch, but he was willing to learn. One day he and the other ranch hands were out castrating calves. As he was helping the guy who was actually doing the castrating, he noticed that every time he'd cut off the bulls' tentacles, he'd pitch them over into a bucket. After a while, this got his curiosity, and he asked the guy why he was saving all of the tentacles. The guy replied " Those are calf-fries and we eat those. " The Frenchman looked at him with disbelief, and thought he just made that up. The guy said, " No, really. We eat those. You'll see. " So, sure enough; at supper that night, they had the calf fries. The next day, they were castrating sheep. Same story. Guy was pitching the tentacles over in a bucket. When the Frenchman saw this, he inquired again as to why the guy was saving them. And, again, the guy replied, " Those are lamb-fries and we eat 'em. " Sure enough, at supper that night, they all ate lamb-fries. Third day rolls around. The guys go out, do their chores. It comes time for supper, and the Frenchman is nowhere to be found. Everyone starts looking for him. Finally, one guy goes into the kitchen and asks the cook: " Say, have you seen that little Frenchman running around here? " The cook replies " Well, yeah. I saw him just a little while ago. He sure was acting peculiar. " The guy looking for the Frenchman says " How so? " The cook says " Well, he came in here and asked me what we were having for supper; and I told him hamburgers and french fries, and he took off running like a scalded cat!
