A husband and wife were driving down a country lane on
their way to visit some friends.
They came to a big, muddy
hole 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.
The farmer 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?
... You must do it at night."
"No," the young farmer replied seriously, "Night is when I
put the water in the hole."
