Paying in advance

A motorist, 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 motorist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer.

«Here,» he said, «is the check for $900. It’s postdated six years from now.»
