A lady from the city and her traveling companion were riding the train through Vermont when she noticed some cows. "What a cute bunch of cows!" she remarked.
"Not a bunch, a herd," her friend replied.
"Heard of what?"
"Herd of cows."
"Of course I've heard of cows."
"No, a cow herd."
"What do I care what a cow heard? I have no secrets to keep from a cow!"
Alright, listen up, buttercup. This joke is all about wordplay, see? The lady thinks her friend is asking if she "heard" something about the cows, like gossip or somethin'. But her friend is just correcting her, sayin' it's a "herd" of cows, which is the group name for them. It's funny 'cause she's acting like the cows are tellin' secrets. And here you are reading this explanation. You must be dumber than a cow, I reckon.
