Country Folk Logic

When you're from the country you look at things a little different...

A rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked
at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door. "Is yer Dad home?"
the rancher asked.

"No,sir, he ain't," the boy replied. "He went into town."

"Well," said the rancher, "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 rancher 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 know
where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could
take a message fer Dad."

"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer
Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter 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
$500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really don't know how much
he gets fer Howard."

Go for it, Howard...ya little devil!

I guess that is just "A fact of life" on the ranch.

I think maybe Howard is kin to Little Johnny?

Dunno about little Johnny...at least not in mixed company.

But, I sure as heck knew a lot of Howards.
