Farm Boy!

[farri]

A Queensland farmer drove to a neighbours' farmhouse in his Holden ute, and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door.

 

 

 

"Is your Dad home?" said the farmer.

 

 

 

"No mate, he isn't; he went to town."

 

 

 

"Well, is your Mother here?"

 

 

 

"No, she went to town with Dad."

 

 

 

"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"

 

 

 

"No mate, he went with Mum and Dad."

 

 

 

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.

 

 

 

"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 Susie pregnant".

 

 

 

The boy thought for a moment. "You would have to talk to Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the pig, but I don't know how much he charges for Howard."
