This farmer has about 200 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks.
So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster which he would sell. The other farmer says, "Yeah, I've got this great rooster, named BoBo. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem."
Well, BoBo the rooster costs a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys BoBo. The farmer takes BoBo home and sets him down in the barnyard, first, giving the rooster a pep talk, "BoBo, I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me lots of money. Consequently, I 'll need you to do a good job. So take your time and have some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.
BoBo seemed to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house, and Bobo took off like a shot. - WHAM! - BoBo nails every hen in the hen house - three or four times, and the farmer is really shocked.
After that the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen, sure enough, BoBo is in there. Later, the farmer sees BoBo after flock of geese, down by the lake. Once again - WHAM! BoBo gets all the geese.
By sunset he sees BoBo out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer is distraught - worried that his expensive rooster won't even last 24 hours.
Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next day, to find BoBo dead as a doorknob - stone cold in the middle of the yard. Buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer, saddend by the loss of such a colorful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, BoBo, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."
BoBo opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says, "Shhh, they're getting close."
