There is something that we should do every day and if we aren’t doing it, we are really missing out on something special in life. I’m talking about laughing. They sometimes say that ‘laughter is the best medicine’, and I think we would all agree that it makes us feel good on the inside. Believe it or not, laughing may also have some physical benefits as well. That is why we are bringing you the following joke, because we want to contribute to your health and happiness. It involves a farmer and an old woman, and it ends with a big smile on your face.
A farmer goes to a livestock dealer and buys an anvil, a bucket, two chickens, and a goose.
The farmer looks at his purchases and says, “Shoot! I WALKED here. How am I gonna carry all this home?
The livestock dealer said, “Why don’t you put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?”
“Hey, thanks!” the farmer said, and off he went.
While walking home he met a little old lady who told him she was lost.
She asked, “Can you tell me how to get to 1515 Mockingbird Lane?”
The farmer said, “Well, as a matter of fact, I live just down the road from there. Let’s take my short cut and go down this alley. We’ll be there in no time.”
The little old lady 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 ravish me?”
The farmer said, “Holy smokes lady! I am carrying a bucket, an anvil, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?”
She replied, “Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket, and I’ll hold the chickens.”
