A man was out for a romantic stroll through the countryside with his new girlfriend when they passed a farmhouse and saw two dogs mating.
The girlfriend looked intrigued and asked, “How does the male know exactly when the female is ready?”
“It’s just nature,” he replied confidently. “He can smell that she’s ready.”
A little farther down the road, they passed a pasture where a ram was mating with a ewe. Again, she asked, “And what about them? How does the ram know?”
“Same thing,” he answered. “It’s all about the scent. He smells that she’s ready.”
Finally, they walked past a field where a massive bull was enthusiastically mating with a cow. The girlfriend stopped and watched for a moment. “Wow, they are really going at it! Surely a giant bull can’t smell when she’s ready, can he?”
“Oh, absolutely,” he grinned. “In the animal kingdom, every male can instantly smell when the female is in the mood.”
After their walk, he drove her back to her apartment and gave her a polite goodbye kiss. As she opened the passenger door to step out, she turned back, smiled playfully, and said, “Take care of yourself, honey… and you might want to go get tested for COVID.”
Startled, he blinked and asked, “COVID? Why on earth would you say that?”
She rolled her eyes and replied:
“Because you’ve clearly lost your freaking sense of smell!”
