THE FARMER AND THE WIDOW
A farmer stopped by the local mechanic's shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home.
On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket, and a gallon of paint.
He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases home.
While he was scratching his head, he was approached by a lady, who was looking for an address.
She asked, 'Mister can you please tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane ?'
The farmer said, 'Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house. I would walk you there, but I can't carry this lot.'
The lady looked over what he had, and said,, 'Put the can of paint in the bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?'
'What a great idea!' he said. He picked it all up, and proceeded to walk her towards the address.
On the way, he says, 'Want to take my short cut, and go down this back alley? We'll be there in no time.'
The lady smiled and said, ' How do I know that when we get in this back alley, you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and have your way with me?'
The farmer laughed and said, 'Holy Smokes lady! I'm carrying a big bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall, and do that?'
The lady replied, 'Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the can of paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens.'
