An insurance salesman was visiting a beekeeper to determine how much risk
there was in insuring a bee ranch, but he was really nervous being around so
many hives of bees. He told the beekeeper he was afraid of being attacked by
a swarm of bees. The beekeeper said "Nonsense, these bees are really docile
and there's nothing to be afraid of, I never get stung, even when I'm handling
them. I know none of my bees would sting you. Why I'm so sure you're safe,
if I tie you naked to that tree over yonder for a couple of hours, and you get
stung by even one bee, I'll give you my whole ranch, lock stock and barrel,
that's how sure I am that it's safe." The insurance man thought about this
for a moment, but his greed got the better of him, so he said "You're on, if
even one bee stings me, I get the ranch." The beekeeper replied "It's a deal,
but you have to give me that insurance if I win." The deal was set. The
insurace man took off his clothes and the beekeeper tied him to the tree. I
have to go into town for a couple of hours, when I get back I'll untie you,
and the beekeeper drove off down the road in his pickup.
A couple of hours later the beekeeper comes back from town, and as he drives
up, he sees the salesman slumped down, still tied to the tree, and a chill
goes through his heart. He jumps out of the truck, and runs up to the man
"Are you all right? Did you get stung? "
The salesman raises his head slowly and replies "No, I didn't get stung. But
you need to get a milk cow for that calf."
