The Farmer

A farmer goes to a livestock dealer and buys an anvil, a bucket, two chickens and a goose.

The farmer looks at his purchases and says, "Damn, I walked here. How am I gonna carry all this stuff home?

The livestock dealer said, "Why don't you put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?"

"Hey thanks!" the farmer said, and off he went.

While walking home he met a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to Mockingbird Lane?"

The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, I live just down the road from there. Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time."

The little old lady said, "I'm 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 against the wall, pull up my skirt and ravage me?"

The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, an anvil, two chickens and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you against the wall and do that?"

She replied, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket ..... and I'll hold the chickens."
