A husband and wife were driving down a country lane on their way tovisit some friends. They came to a muddy patch in the road and the car

became bogged. After a few minutes of trying to get the car out by

themselves, they saw a young farmer coming down the lane, driving some

oxen before him. He stopped when he saw the couple in trouble and

offered to pull the car out of the mud for $50. The husband accepted

and minutes later the car was free.

The farmer turned to the husband and said, “You know, you’re the tenth

car I’ve helped out of the mud today.” The husband looks around at the

fields incredulously and asks the farmer,”When do you have time to

plough your land? At night?”

“No,” the young farmer replied seriously, “Night is when I put the

water in the hole”
