A farmer drove to a neighbor's farmhouse and knocked at
the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door.
"Is your dad or mom home?" asked the farmer.
"No, they went to town."
"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"No, 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 young boy said, "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 Suzy 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."
