Near enough

[labr@]

After a talking sheepdog gets all the sheep in the pen, he reports back to the farmer: “All 40 accounted for.”

“But I only have 36 sheep,” says the farmer.

“I know,” says the sheepdog. “But I rounded them up.”

Wmp :roflmao:

Is one of them called Shaun ? :U

Peter.

[Rodgera]

Or did he ram it home?

[labr@]

Trust ewe to post that, Rodger

[Allan at Wallan]

He pulled the wool over the farmer's eyes.

[CAG]

Oh no, not again. Ewe guys have too much time on your hands.

[david.elliott]

Cannot decide wether to laugh or not...

[KBs PensNmore]

There'll never be another ewe.

[labr@]

That's 3 "ewe" puns we've had already. I must remind you that each addition to the thread should be ewenique

.....err......oops :-

[Bob38S]

Oh dear, another flock of posts.

[rustynail]

There'll never be another ewe.
Sounds like a Kiwi lament.

[Bob38S]

This keeps up and we could all get a little crook.

[rustynail]

Is one of them called Shaun ? :U

Peter.
I knew a shearer named Shaun Badly. A lot of the Badly's were shearers.

[Bob38S]

Obviously a ring in and not a ringer.

Did he live in Marino?

Was his dog called Bitzer? :U

What an insult! The Badly's had one of the best lines of Kelpies around. I had one of there bitches by Casper. She could work anything from ducks to cattle, including pigs. Best dog I have ever owned. Came to Sydney to visit my parents one Christmas and someone threw her a bait. Got to love city folk.

[rustynail]

Obviously a ring in and not a ringer.
He was good for 200 a day. How about yourself?

[Bob38S]

Whoa, hang on a minute, Shaun Badly was real?

I presumed it was a play on words seeing the thread was about sheep, "shorn badly", hence ring in as opposed to ringer eg Jackie Howe, 321 sheep in under 8 hours.

No offence intended, just playing with words and an attempt at a little humour.

No offence taken. Yes, Shaun Badly was his real name. We always thought it amusing because he was one of the best shearers we knew.
Jackie Howe's 321 tally at Alice Downs Blackall was with hand shears and wasnt broken until machine shears came along. His weekly record was 1437 in 44.5 hours. As far as I am aware, that record still stands. His dad John was also a champion shearer. Jackie was an activist during the Shearers Strike and was mates with my grandfather who was also heavily involved. Jackie owned the Barcoo pub in Blackall and died at only 59.

[Sturdee]

What an insult!

No offence meant either. I thought I was referring to the OP post.

My calling the sheep Shaun and the dog Bitzer refers to the children cartoon shown on ABC2 that I watch sometimes with my 2 year old grandson.

Peter.

[rustynail]

None taken Peter. You were not to know. Mind you, if memory serves me correctly, one of the Badly dogs was called Bitzer or Bitzy. I'ts over thirty years ago and Im flat out remembering what I had for breakfast.

[labr@]

Well the sheep and farm puns have dropped off - I thought we were going to be drenched in them.

[A Duke]

May be people are worried about being fleeced.

[Bob38S]

Nah, this mob is good for a few more.

[Carry Pine]

Nah, this mob is good for a few more.

With apologising about shearers names and sheep dogs its a wonder no one took a fence!

CP

[KBs PensNmore]

I know a detective was tailing the sheep.

Easy to follow them. They were all marked.

[Bushmiller]

We had a Kiwi at work for a while. You've guessed it. His surname was Lamb. He said there were many very indiscreet comments flying around while he grew up :) .

I have been falling about over the computer desk with all your replies. Lucky you blokes don't charge for the jokes or I would have been fleeced.

[rwbuild]

and then we would have baled you out of trouble

[chrisb691]

I think we need a gun.

You could always ringer round for more jokes!

CP

[labr@]

I think we've used all the best jokes so any more won't be much chop.

[Bob38S]

Perhaps you need to Rack your brain a little more. I could get roasted for adding to this thread.

[A Duke]

May be some one is just pulling your leg.

[labr@]

Adding more is OK - just don't hog it.

[Carry Pine]

Im not really happy with this brand of jokes.

CP

[Chesand]

Perhaps time for it to be docked

[Carry Pine]

Perhaps time for it to be docked

Before we do that, I want to take a poll.

Carry Pine

[Bob38S]

That Irish shearer Lan O'Lin would be happy to help out with your poll.

[Carry Pine]

Ahh! Thats the rub!

Carry Pine

[Bob38S]

Yep, just about drenched.

[rwbuild]

We only do it for the shear fun

[chrisb691]

That's wooly thinking.

[Bob38S]

Better than a clip over the ear.

[KBs PensNmore]

Better behave ourselves so we don't get a roasting.

[Bob38S]

So long as we don't get the dogs set on us to put this whole show in the pen.

[Carry Pine]

I thought you muster run out of ideas by now, Bob.

Carry Pine

[Bob38S]

I can hear the footrot flats calling.

[rwbuild]

But are they calling ewe

[Carry Pine]

But are they calling ewe

Dont be a chump. They are calling you.

CP

[rwbuild]

Now your pulling my leg

[Carry Pine]

Would I rib you about something so serious?
CP

[rwbuild]

Your lambasting me again!

[Bob38S]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[Carry Pine]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Are you saying he's barred from making any more comments?

Carry Pine

[Bob38S]

Only if he is the black sheep.

[Carry Pine]

Everybody on here needs crutching but there's been a fly strike.

Graham

[Rodgera]

Can somebody please shepherd these replies, or at least corral them.

[Bob38S]

Send for Georghe Zamfir ~ "The Lonely Shepherd".

The really sad thing about this is that I don't need to ask who Georghe Zamfir is.
Oh well, maybe all this bleating about sheep will stop soon.

Don't be sad at all, I would be happy and enlightened hearing that beautiful music. If you want sad then look at the current offerings on TV which is surely the talentless supposedly entertaining the mindless sheep who seem to follow the TV moguls idea "we'll broadcast it and they will watch, repeats and all reclassified as an encore. Don't get me started as I would probably end up in the red room.

[rwbuild]

Much more entertaining and informative here among real people as opposed to reality shows

[fenderbelly]

C'mon Bob don't hogget all

[Carry Pine]

Wasn't Fred the bloke who told all the shearers he could ring the shed...... and then pulled out a mobile phone?

Graham

[rwbuild]

Yeah but it was a dead ringer
