banger from al lowe's cyberjoke 3000:

A farmer dropped his truck off at the local mechanics and decided to walk home. On his way, he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He stopped at the feed store and bought a couple of chickens and a goose. But when he got outside the store, he had a problem: how to carry all his purchases home. As he stood there, a nice little old lady asked him, "Do you know how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?" The farmer said, Sure. My farm is near there. I'd walk you there, but I can't carry all this stuff." She suggested, "You could put the can of paint in the bucket, put a chicken under each arm, carry the bucket in one hand, and carry the goose in your other hand?" "Thanks. I think that'll work." As they walked along, he said, "I know a short cut down this alley. We'll save some time." She was cautious. "I don't know. I'm a lonely widow with no husband to defend me. How do I know that, once we're in that alley, you won't hold me 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 on Earth could I possibly do that?" She grinned. "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold your chickens!"
