A group of young friends are drinking at a pub. After a while they notice the barman providing free drinks to an old gentleman sat alone at the end of the bar.
One of the young men asks the barman, "Why does that old guy keep getting free drinks?"
The barman replies "That's old man Hancock, he challenges people to a bet and never loses!"
"What's the bet?" asks the young man
Barman: "Well, he says you can bring him any kind of animal fur or skin and he can tell you what it was and how it died..."
One of the young men wearing a sheepskin coat decides to take up the challenge and walks over.
Old man Hancock touches the coat and within seconds says "That's a Shetland Sheep, was killed by a bolt gun"
The young man puzzled, takes his word for it and buy the old man a drink.
The second young man wearing a pair of leather shoes walks over...
"Hereford Bull, shotgun!" says Hancock, and
the young man buys him a drink.
The game goes on all night until Old man Hancock has had a dozen drinks and is too drunk to continue.
The next night the young men are back in the pub and notice old man Hancock with a black eye and crooked nose.
They ask "What happened to you last night?"
Hancock replies "Well after last night I was so drunk I don't remember a thing, but my wife said I came home late and flopped into the bed, I put my hand down her pants and shouted, A skunk with a pickaxe!"
