I run a website called WhatIsFresh.com, so for a city guy I talk to a lot of farmers. Recently, one of our farmer friends forwarded me this joke…
A Montana rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door.
“Is your Dad home?” the rancher asked.
“No sir, he isn’t,” the boy replied. “He went into town.”
“Well,” said the rancher, “Is your Mother here?” “No sir, she’s not here either. She went into town with Dad.”
“How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?”
“No sir, He went with Mom and Dad.”
The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the
other and mumbling to himself.
“Is there anything I can do for you?” the boy asked politely. “I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could take a
message for Dad.”
“Well,” said the rancher uncomfortably, “I really wanted to talk to your
Dad. It’s about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, 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 $500 for the bull and $50 for
the hog, but I really don’t know how much he gets for Howard.”
