An Arkansas farmer got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring farm and knocked at the farmhouse door. A young boy about 9 opened the door. <br /><br />"Is yer Dad home?" the farmer asked. <br /><br />"No sir, he ain't," the boy replied. "He went into town." <br /><br />"Well, said the farmer, is yer Mom here?" <br /><br />"No, sir, she ain't here neither. She went into town with Dad." <br /><br />"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?" <br /><br />"He went with Mom and Dad." <br /><br />The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself. <br /><br />"Is there anything I can do fer ya?" the boy asked politely. "I knows where all the tools are, if you want to borry one. Or maybe I could take a message fer Dad." <br /><br />"Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, ahh...uu..in the family way." <br /><br />The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded. "If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $50 for the bull and $25 for the boar, but I really don't know how much he gets fer Howard
