Even dogs can be shortsighted. 

Les bottes bio. In French, Bottes are boots, but are also bales of hay, or straw.

Old shepherds never die, they just get a stairlift.

In French, Jean sounds just like the English Sean. Connerie is rather rude, but could be translated as bullshit (or worse. Look it up.)

The sheep shearing salon in the mountains.

Apples baked on a bed of wafer-thin pastry, generously sprinkled with armagnac. All agree that it is delicious, but is it called a Tourtiere Landaise, or a Croustade Gasconne?

The shepherds of Bordeaux have taken something out of the winegrowers book and automated their shearing. A grape plucking machine has been adapted to shear sheep.

When the wood pigeons migrate through SW France, some hunters become obsessed. It is sometimes called the 'Maladie bleue', or the blue sickness, due to the colour of the pigeons. This one has asked his wife to call his work to say that he won't be in for the next few days as he has the 'Maladie bleue'...

Quille de neuf, or Quille d'un oeuf ?

Quille is a skittle game played in South West France, very similar to those played in the UK. The nine 'quilles' can be knocked down in different formations to win different points. These ducks have created their own version. I hope the egg is hard boiled!
