  A wise old Texas Rancher went to town to
: trade for a pickup truck he saw advertised
: in the paper for an unbelievably low price.
: After showing the salesman which truck he
: wanted,they sat down to do the paperwork.
: The salesman handed the rancher the keys and
: the bill,to which the Texas rancher angrily
: declared,"This ain't the price I
: saw!"
:
: The salesman went on to tell the wise old
: Texas rancher how he was getting extras such
: as power brakes,power windows, special tires
: etc. and that made the final price higher.
: The Texas rancher wanted only that truck and
: no other, so he begrudgingly paid the price
: and drove it home.
:
: A few months later, the salesman called the
: Texas rancher: "My son is in 4-H and he
: needs a heifer for a project. Do you have
: any good heifers for sale?"
:
: "Yep, I've a few good heifers priced to
: sell at $500 each. Come on out and take your
: pick."
:
: The salesman said he and his son would be
: right out. After spending a few hours in the
: field checking out all the rancher's
: cows,they decided on one and the salesman
: proceeded to write a check for $500.
: "Now, wait a minute, that's not the
: final price of the heifer. You're gettin'
: extras and you have to pay for those,
: too!" "What extras?" asked
: the salesman.
:
: "I think you'll find all you're gettin'
: listed here!"
