A farmer stopped by the local mechanic 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 place is very close to 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. Then 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 anyone 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 dress, and have your manly way with me?"

The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! Look here, I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. Now how in the world could I possibly do something like that to you?"

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.”
