An old farmer stopped by the local mechanic's 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 feedstore and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store, he now had a problem - how to carry all his purchases home?
While he was scratching his head, a little old lady approached him and said 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 just a few blocks past that house. I'd walk you there, but I can't carry all this 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 then he proceeded to walk the old girl home. On the way he said, "Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time."
The old gal looked him over cautiously, then 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 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 do that?"
The old lady replied, "For Heaven's sake, set the goose down, cover him with the bucket,
put the paint on top of the bucket and I'll hold the chickens."
