A salesman drove his car into a ditch in a rural area. Luckily, a farmer came to his aid with his big strong horse named “Buddy.”
He hitched Buddy up to the car and shouted, “pull, Nellie, pull!”. Buddy did not move. Then the farmer shouted, “pull, Buster, pull!”. Again, Buddy just stood there. Next, the farmer ordered, “pull, Coco, pull!”. Still, Buddy didn't budge. Finally, the farmer shouted, “pull, Buddy, pull!”. This time, the big horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The salesman thanked the farmer and then asked, “Why did you call your horse by the wrong name three times?”
The farmer grinned. “Buddy’s blind,” he answered. “If he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try.”
