I do research far and wide on the net to bring you the funniest, best, or strangest links (don’t know how successful I am, but that's neither here nor there). So many places I run into sheep jokes. They are everywhere! There are the obvious “sheep are nervous” jokes, but lots more besides. Sheep are funny because (according to the Monty Python guys) sheep spend their lives standing around and then being eaten. A few haircuts in between give us warm winter clothing that itches and shrinks. I often wondered why they don’t just launder the sheep, or launder the wool before knitting it. Anyway, sheep are funny-looking animals, too, all fluffy and dumb-looking. Looks are deceiving; you know there are dreams and schemes aplenty behind those vacant eyes. They just can’t communicate very well, so we have to make up stories and jokes about them.

Did you think sheep were dumb? Think again! You might want to check this site out thoroughly, there’s plenty of great cartoons, a lot of them featuring sheep.

Love song.

Bog of the Day: Youssouf's Sheeplog.  Yes, its a blog about sheep.

Make your own music for the band at Sheep Beats. I had no idea what I was doing here, but it ended up sounding pretty good anyway.

They say when you can’t sleep, you should try counting sheep. Here it is, the Counting Sheep.

THE HERD

A man walks up to a New Zealand sheep farmer and says, "If I can tell you exactly how many sheep you have down there, can I keep one?"

The farmer glances at the vast array of sheep, snickers, and says, "Sure."

The man looks carefully at the sheep, then says, "5,279."

The farmer, startled, says, "How did you do that?"

The man says, "I'd rather not say. Can I have my animal?"

"I guess so," says the farmer. The man picks up an animal and starts to walk away.

"Wait!" yells the farmer. "If I can guess where you're from, will you give me my animal back?"

The man snickers, and says, "Sure."

"You're from New York," says the farmer.

The man, startled, says, "How did you do that?"

The farmer says, "I'd rather not say. Can I have my dog back?"

Sheep Catapult game.  How far can you fling them?

Sheep Dash game.

This is cute and clever: Sheep Made of Telephones.

THE BIG HOLE

Two guys are walking through the woods and come across this big deep hole. "Wow...that looks deep."

"Sure does... toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is." They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise.

"Jeeez. That is REALLY deep... here.. throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise." They pick up a couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and wait. Nothing.

They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, "Hey...over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss THAT sucker in, it's GOTTA make some noise." The two men drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole.

Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a sheep appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as it's legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole. The two men are astonished with what they've just seen...

Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over. “Hey... you two guys seen my sheep out here?”

“You bet we did! Craziest thing I ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!”

“Nah”, says the farmer, “That couldn't have been MY sheep. My sheep was chained to a railroad tie.”

Thought for today: Lets make like a shepherd and get the flock out of here!
