A Farmer Joke

A farmer stopped by the local mechanics 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 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 my 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!"
You have a creative day.
