Two farmers were boasting about the strongest kind of wind they'd seen.
"Out here in California," said one, "I've seen the fiercest wind in my
life. You know these giant redwood trees? Well, the wind once got so
strong, it bent them right down." "That's nothing," said the other. "Back
on my farm in Iowa, we had a terrible wind one day that blew a hundred
miles an hour. It was so bad one of my hens had her back turned to the wind
and she laid the same egg six times."
