A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed.
They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far &would just
walk home.
On the way, he stopped at the hardware store & bought a bucket & a gallon of paint.
He then stopped by the feed store & picked up a couple of chickens & goose.
However, struggling outside the store, he now had a problem - how to carry his entire
purchases home.
While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him
she was lost.
She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?"
The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house
I would walk you there, but I can't carry this lot."
The old lady suggested, "Why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket.
Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm & carry the goose in your other hand?"
"Why, thank you very much", he said, and proceeded to walk the old girl home.
On the way he says, "Let's take a short cut & go down this alley. We'll be there in no time."
The little old lady looked him over cautiously, then said, "I am 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, pull up my skirt, & have your way with me?"
The farmer said, "Holy smokes, lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, 2 chickens & a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall & do that?"
The old lady replied, "Set the goose down, cover him w/the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket & I'll hold the chickens

A person may fail many times, they only become a failure when they blame someone else John Burrows

That's just up the road from the Munsters house. 1313 Mockingbird Lane from memory.
Loved it Dot.
