Old Man Jones
Old man Jones was in town picking up supplies. He stopped by the hardware store and picked up a bucket and an anvil. Then he stopped by the livestock dealer to buy two chickens and a goose. He now had a problem with how to carry it home.
The dealer said, "Why don't you put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm, and carry the goose in your other hand?" "Thanks!" the old man said, and off he went.
Soon he met an old lady who told him she was lost. She asked him how to get to 15 Oak Lane, and the man said. "I live at 45 Oak Lane. Let's take my short cut and go down this alley."
The old lady said, "I'm 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 and ravish me?"
The old man said, "Holy smokes! I'm carrying a bucket, an anvil, two chickens and a goose. How in the world could I possibly do that?"
The lady said, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."
