A motorist,
driving by a Texas ranch, hit and killed
a calf that was crossing the road. The
driver went to the owner of the calf and
explained what had happened. He then
asked what the animal was worth.
"Oh, about $200 today," said the
rancher. "But in six years it would have
been worth $900. So $900 is what I'm
out."
The motorist sat down and wrote out a
check and handed it to the farmer.
"Here," he said, "is the check for $900.
It's postdated six years from now."
