A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home. On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases home. While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane ?" The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot." The old lady suggested, "Why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?" "Why thank you very much," he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home. On the way he says "Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time." The little old lady looked him over cautiously then 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 have your way with me?" The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?" The old lady replied, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens

And make darn certain that SHE hangs onto those CHICKENS! They ALMOST lay the proverbial "Golden-Eggs", down here in my "neck of the woods", nowadays...!
Bruno: Are chickens really worth that much? I thought it was a goose that layed the golden eggs.
Not with the price of CORN for the feed nowadays, "down-here"! The price per bushel has almost doubled from this time last year. The same goes for your once-relatively cheap dozen of eggs---not anymore, buddy...!
My guess is that corn went up because they want to use it to make bio-fuel. Eggs just seem to go up for no reason that I can see.

Ticblog; I just new you would like this one. "smirk"
Corn is scarcer this year 'cause the farmers are planting less of it.
If you think that doesn't make sense, just remember they get paid for not planting crops here.
But now I know who the comic is in your family. Thank you Mrs. Moose.
Please see if you can get hubby to end this series and start pages with fewer pictures. They are taking longer and longer to load At least 82 now.
Cat: Mrs. Moose had to have a sense of humour. She married me.
End whar series? The Owen series-never.He is one of my greatest reasons for living.
Moose: I sent you my reply in an email. But what I meant was too many posts per page. The fewer posts with pictures, the faster the pages load.
And I agree with Mrs. Moose.
Cat: Thanks for the info. I didn't know it slowed it down that much. I will change my set up.Thanks again.
