When you're from the country, your perception is a little different.......
An Iowa farmer in his pickup, drove to a neighbor's, and knocked at the door.
A boy, about 9, opened the door .
"Is your Dad home?" the farmer asked.
"No sir, he isn't; he went to town." replied the boy.
"Well, is your Mother here?"
"No sir, she went to town with Dad."
"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"No sir, He went with Mom and Dad."
The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.
The boy asked, "Is there anything I can do for you? 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, Suzie, pregnant."'
The boy thought for a moment. "Yeh, you'll have to talk to Dad about that.
I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I don't know how much he charges for Howard."
