Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Got this from another list - I'm not above 'borrowing' ;-) A Nebraska farmer got in his pickup, drove several miles to a neighboring farm, and knocked on the farmhouse door. A young boy about 12 opened the door. " Is yer paw home? " the farmer asked. " No sir, he ain't, " the boy replied. " He went into town. " " Well, said the farmer, is yer maw here? " " No, sir, she ain't here neither. She went into town with paw. " " How about your brother, Howard? Is he here? " " He went with maw and paw. " The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself. " Is there anything I can do fer ya? " the boy asked politely. " I knows where all the tools are, if you want to borry one. Or maybe I could take a message fer paw. " " Well, " said the farmer uncomfortably, " I really wanted to talk to yer paw. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant. " The boy considered for a moment. " You would have to talk to Pa about that " , he finally conceded. " If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $50 for the bull and $25 for the boar hog, but I really don't know how much he gets fer Howard. " Cheers!
