A small boy attended a horse auction with his father.
He watched as his father moved from horse to horse,
running his hands up and down the horse's legs, rump, and chest.
After a few minutes, the boy asked, ''Dad, what are you doing that for?''
His father replied, ''When I'm buying horses,
I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy. ''
The boy, looking worried, said,
''Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.''
