A retiring farmer was selling his land and getting rid of his farm animals.
He went to every house in his town. At the houses where the man was the boss, he gave them one of his two horses. At the houses where the woman was the boss, a chicken was given.
He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside, gardening. 'Who's the boss around here?' he asked.
'I am.' said the man.
'I have a black horse and a brown horse,' the farmer said, 'which one would you like?'
The man thought for a minute and said, 'The black one.'
'No, no, no, get the brown one.' the man's wife said.
'Here's your chicken.' said the farmer.
