Three Strikes

[Bad Karma]

A farmer and his brand new wife were riding home from the chapel in a wagon pulled by a team of horses, when the older horse stumbled.

The farmer said, “That’s once.”

A little farther down the road the poor old horse stumbled again. The farmer said, “That’s twice.”

A little while later the horse stumbled yet again. The farmer didn’t say anything, but reached under the seat, pulled out a shotgun and shot the horse.

His brand-new wife yelled, telling him, “That was an awful thing to do.”

The farmer responded, “That’s once.”
