A farmer stopped by the local mechanics 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.
Outside the store he realized he now had a problem -
how to carry all his stuff home. While he
was scratching his head he was approached
by a little old lady who told him she was lost.
She asked, 'Can you tell me how
to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?'
The farmer said, 'Well, as a matter of fact,
my farm is very close to there. I would
walk you there but I can't carry this all my stuff.'
The old lady suggested, 'Why don't you 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?'
'Why thank you very much,' he said and proceeded
to walk the old girl home. On the way he says
'Let's take my short cut and go down this alley,
we'll be there in no time.'
The little old lady looked him over cautiously and
said, 'I am a lonely widow without a husband to
protect me.. How do I know that when we get in
the alley you won't hold me up against the wall,
pull up my skirt and have your way with me?
The farmer said, 'Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying
a 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 all that?'
The old lady replied, 'Set the goose down,
cover him with the bucket, put the paint
on top of the bucket and I'll hold the chickens.
