Invitation: donkey sharing time

Wow ... you sure you want to open this forum? There are stories to tell .... :-)
Seriously, nobody's been to a petting zoo? Or, illegally entered an elephant enclosure?
I visited a friend the other day who owns a donkey. As I was leaving his home the donkey started breying and carrying on. All I could say was that's one loud ass.
Thank you! More people should have pet donkeys, clearly.
Here's a donkey-related joke heard over the weekend:
A farmer in Tennessee, near the Georgia border, had recently noticed some strange behavior from one of his mules. The animal was constantly emitting pungent and rather loud gas, and the farmer became concerned. As he moved closer to investigate, he noticed that there was a pattern to the farting - it was to the tune of the song, "Rocky Top."
Fascinated by the perverse and often baffling sounds coming from his beast of burden, the farmer quickly drove the mule into town to see the veterinarian. The vet spent a few minutes examining the animal, even putting his stethoscope up to its rear quarters to listen to the apparently involuntary music.
The vet was unfazed, and simply recommended a few minor diet adjustments to deal with the issue. Unbelieving, the farmer pleaded with the doctor, "but ... but, isn't this just the most AMAZING thing you've EVER heard? I mean, it's a mule, tooting a tune! This is just unheard of!"
Calmly, the veterinarian responded: "On the contrary, sir. I grew up near Knoxville, went to school at Vanderbilt for four years, then on to the University of Georgia for Veterinary School. I've been hearing assholes sing 'Rocky Top' for as long as I can remember."
OK ... that's a good one!!! :-)
