COUNTRY FOLKS
When you're from the country, you look at things a little differently........
A rancher got in his pickup, drove to a neighboring ranch, and knocked on the door. A young boy, about nine, opened the door.
"Is yer Dad home?" the rancher asked.
"No, sir, he ain't," the boy replied. "He went in to town."
"Well," said the rancher, is yer Mom here?"
"No, sir, she ain't here neither. She went into town with Pa."
"How about your brother Howard? Is he here?"
"He went with Ma and Pa."
The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.
"Is there anything I can do fer ya?" the boy asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could take a message for Pa."
"Well," the rancher said uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter pregnant."
The boy considered this for a moment.
"You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded. "If it helps ya any, I know that Pa charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Howard."
