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 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 1515 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 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 ravish me?"
The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! I am carrying a bucket, an anvil, two
chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up 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."
