He races into the farmhouse and yells excitedly to his Granddad: 'Hey Granddad, the bull is fucking the cow'.
Granddad informs Johnny that he won't tolerate this sort of playground language on his farm and that in future if Johnny wants to inform him about such things he should say something like 'Granddad the bull is surprising the cow.'
A few weeks later Johnny is again visiting the farm. Once again he comes racing in and yells: 'Granddad the bull is surprising the cows.'
Granddad says to Johnny: 'I'm pleased to hear that after my conversation with you a few weeks ago you have cleaned up your language. However, your grammar is not quite correct. It is not 'the bull is surprising the cows'. It is 'the bull is surprising the cow'. The bull can only surprise one cow at a time'.
