A farmer and
his son were working hard on his barn when a city boy stopped to
ask for directions. After helping the lost driver, the farmer
went back to jacking up the small barn while putting blocks of
wood under each corner.
The city boy just had to ask, "What are you doing?"
"Well," said the farmer, "My prize mule keeps
scraping his ears on the barn each time he goes through the door
and I just can't have that."
"Why don't you just dig a little ditch that goes under the
doorway?"
The farmer said, "Thanks, I'll think about it" and the
driver pulled away. As the car heads down the road, the farmer
turned to his son, "Dumb city slicker. The mule keeps
scraping his ears, not his feet!"
