Once an engineer was driving in a ranch 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.
āOh, about $200 today,ā said the redneck. āBut in six years it would have been worth $900. So $900 is what Iām out.ā
Engineer sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the redneck.
āHere,ā he said, āis the check for $900. Itās postdated six years from now.ā
