A bullock is a younger male cow on top of a hill as far as I'm concerned..   and thats especially true when the said young bull is in a joke...

 

And its even more true when I can't think what a young bull is called officially off the top of my head late on at night.   

 

Now, about this goring business, my bulls, young or old are especially friendly and even more so if the two of em are contemplating doing a herd of cows down a hill in five minutes...

 

Mick, the way my friend told it, it was much funnier than the joke in the vid.. 

 

It’s not a joke it’s more of a fable.

Its a joke, a fable usually involves a fox, a rabbit/hare or tortoise.   this had none of those three.

 

Plus, unlike a fable it makes one laugh..   does the hare and the tortoise fable make you laugh?, no, its designed to make you think.

It’s a bit of both, containing something to make you think and the bawdiness of the language of the joke. 

 

When I first heard the telling it was a young bull and an old bull.

Your right, it is a bit of both..  But, considering its subject matter, I'd say it was intended as a joke first, then on reflection it might be a fable/described as such..

 

whats also funny is I've just been ruminating on whether its a joke or fable on the way home from gettin some shoppin in..   like I have nothing better to do than contemplate this sort of stuff LOL's...

Could this finally be the "tail end" of the thread that Mick, quite some time ago, wished would wither and die.......  ?
