The Old Rancher

[Bear Paw Jack]

The banker saw his old friend Tom, an eighty-year old rancher, in town.
Tom had lost his wife a year or so before and rumor had it that he was marrying a 'mail order' bride.

Being a good friend, the banker asked Tom if the rumor was true.

Tom assured him that it was. The banker then asked Tom the age of his new bride to be.
Tom proudly said, 'She'll be twenty-one in November.'

Now the banker, being the wise man that he was, could see that the sexual appetite of a young woman could
not be satisfied by an eighty-year old man.

Wanting his old friend's remaining years to be happy the banker tactfully suggested that Tom should consider
getting a hired hand to help him out on the ranch, knowing nature would take its own course.

Tom thought this was a good idea and said he would look for one that afternoon.

About four months later, the banker ran into Tom in town again.

'How's the new wife?', asked the banker.

Tom proudly said, 'Good - she's pregnant.'

The banker, happy that his sage advice had worked out, continued,
'And how's the hired hand?'

'She's pregnant too.'

Way I heard it was the Old Rancher went to his Doctor and in the course of their discussion he told the Doc that he'd just remarried.

A bit taken aback by an eighty year old man getting married the Doc asked if the bride was elderly like himself. The old Rancher said the No, she's in her twenties and a real beauty. Worrying about his old friend the Doc warned that sometimes these May December weddings can prove fatal.

After thinking about that for a few minutes the Old Rancher just replied, "Well Doc, you may be right but I guess if she dies she dies."
