FIRST BOY: “Guess what I drank this morning?”SECOND BOY: “Beer? Whiskey?”
FIRST: “Stop!”
SECOND: “Then what? What did you drink?”
FIRST: “I drank buffalo’s milk. You can’t imagine how delicious it tastes. My mother says that buffalo’s milk is more nourishing than cow’s milk.”
SECOND: “Never! Your mother is a fool!”
FIRST: “My mother is a fool? You know that my mother is going to be the head of a school?”
SECOND: “Do you know why your mother says that the buffalo’s milk is more nourishing?”
FIRST: “I don’t know. Tell me why.”
SECOND: “She just looks like a buffalo.”
FIRST: “Stop! My mother may look like a buffalo, but your mother is a buffalo herself.”
