A farmer stopped by the local mechanic 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 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.
However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to
carry his entire purchases 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
that house. I would walk you there, but I can't carry this lot."
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 a short cut and go down this alley.
We'll be there in no time."
The little old lady looked him over cautiously, then said, "I am a
lonely widow without a husband to defend 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 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."
