The Price is Right....
A West Virginia farmer got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring farm and
knocked at the farmhouse door. A young boy about 9 yrs old opened the
door.
'Is yer Dad home?' the farmer asked.
'No sir, he ain't,' the boy replied. 'He
went into town.'
Well said the farmer, 'is yer Mom here?'
'No sir, she ain't here neither. She went
into town with Dad.'
'How about your brother, Howard? Is he
here?'
'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.
'Is there anything I can do fer ya?' the boy asked politely. 'I knows where
all the tools are, if you want to borry one. Or maybe I could take a
message fer Dad.'
'Well,' said the farmer uncomfortably, 'I really wanted to talk to yer Dad.
It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant.'
The boy considered for a moment. 'You would have to talk to Pa about that,'
he finally conceded. 'If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $50 for
the bull and $25 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets fer
Howard.'
