A farmer drove to a
neighbor's farmhouse and knocked at the door.
A boy, about 9, opened
the door.
"Is your dad or mom
home?" asked the farmer.
"No, they went to town"
said the boy.
"How about your
brother, Howard? Is he here?" asked the farmer.
"No, he went with Mom
and Dad" the boy answered.
The farmer stood there
for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.
"I know where all the
tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give Dad a message" said the boy.
"Well," said the farmer
uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother
Howard
getting my daughter
Suzy pregnant".
The boy thought for a
moment...
"You would have to talk
to Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the
pig,but I don't know how
much he charges for Howard!"
