Farmer and the Little Old Lady | Eastern North Carolina Now

    I gather there is some interest in making a joke or humor segment a regular BCN thing.

    My first publishing was several jokes which Stan enjoyed and published.

    With that in mind, here is my submission for the week:

    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 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.

    Outside the store he realized he now had a problem - how to carry all his 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 there. 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 and have your way with me?

    The farmer said, 'Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, 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.
