    The Old Rancher

    The local banker saw his old friend Tom, an eighty-year old rancher, in town one day. Tom had lost his wife a year or so before and rumor had it that he was marrying a 'mail order' bride. Being a good friend, the banker asked Tom if the rumor was true.

    Tom assured him that it was. The banker then asked Tom the age of his new bride to be.

    Tom proudly said, "She'll be twenty-one in November."

    Now the banker, being the wise man that he was, could see that the sexual appetite of a young woman could not be satisfied by an eighty-year-old man.

    Wanting his old friend's remaining years to be happy the banker tactfully suggested that Tom should consider getting a hired hand to help him out on the ranch, knowing nature would take its own course.

    Tom thought this was a good idea and said he would look for one that afternoon. About four months later, the banker ran into Tom in town again.

    "How's the new wife?" asked the banker.

    Tom proudly said, "Good - she's pregnant."

    The banker, happy that his sage advice had worked out, continued, "And how's the hired hand?"

    Without hesitating, Tom said, "She's pregnant too."

        That is a good one. And all I can think to say is a phrase that I have heard before......


        "DIRTY OLD MEN!"

        And they are the most dangerous, or so I have been told

          Texas rancher

          A man owned a small ranch in Texas. The Texas Wage & Hour Dept. claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.

          "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.

          "Well, there's my ranch hand that’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 per week plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit who works here about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 per week, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night," replied the rancher.

          "That's the guy I want to talk to - the half-wit," says the agent.

          "That would be me," replied the rancher.

            Shoottx, sounds like a lot of self employed people I know, including myself at times. Good one. Passed it on to some of them.

              Yup, I identified with the story, that is why I saved it.
