A Texas farmer in his pickup, drove to a neighbor's, and knocked at the
door.
A boy, about 9, opened the door.
"Is your Dad home?"
"No sir, he isn't; he went to town."
"Well, is your Mother here?"
"No sir, she went to town with Dad."
"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"No sir, 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 for you? I know where all the tools are, if you
want to borrow one, or I can give dad a message."
"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your
Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, 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 hog, but I don't know how much he charges for Howard."
