[BITList] Love old ladies]

[John Feltham]

  Yes, there’s always a way !!!!

   
   
  *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 with
  everything 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 to1603 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 to 1603 Mockingbird Lane .
  *
  *On the way he said, "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. '*
