There's a joke that's been passed around through local oral tradition in this area. I can Google up many versions of it on line. But how to you find the origin or the source? How do you determine the copyright status?
The joke I'm trying to track down is about a rooster.
A farmer looses his rooster, so goes to the local market to find a replacement. The replacement rooster immediately screws all the hens on the farm (over a hundred), but doesn't stop there. The rooster spends the rest of the day servicing the cows, horses, pigs and an unfortunate squirrel that happed to scamper through the farm yard at the wrong time.
The next morning, the farmer finds his new rooster in the center of the courtyard, flat on his back, eye closed. Vultures are already circling above and ready to pounce on the newly deceased.
The farmer walks over to the rooster feeling bad that the bird had screwed himself to death. As the farmer draws near, the rooster opens one eye and motions above with one feathered wing and wispers "shhh... they're just about to land"
How do I find out the copyright status of this joke? Any help would be welcome.
