Only a farm kid
Posted: 27 Nov 2012, 06:57When you're from the country, your perception is a little bit different...
A Queensland farmer drove to a neighbours' farmhouse in his Holden ute, and knocked at the door.
A boy, about 9, opened the door.
"Is your Dad or your mum home?" said the farmer.
"No, they went to town."
"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"No, he went with Mum and Dad."
The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.
The boy said,
"I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give Dad a message."
"Well...," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter Susie pregnant".
The boy thought for a moment and then said...
"You would really have to talk to Dad about that... I know he charges $500 for the bull, and $50 for the pig, but I don't know how much he charges for Howard."
