A tourist, driving by a Texas ranch, hit 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.
Oh, about $200 today, said the rancher. But in six years, it would have been worth $900. So $900 is what I'm out.
The tourist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer.
Here, is the check for $900, he said. It's postdated six years from now.
