In a country home that seldom had guests, a young son was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests. When the dinner was nearly over, the boy went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father, who passed it to a guest. The boy came in with a second piece of pie and gave it to his father, who again gave it to a guest. This was too much for
the boy, who said, "It's no use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size!"

ACREAGES
The farmer from Texas was traveling through Vermont and stopped to talk to a local farmer. "How large of an acreage do you cultivate?" the Texan asked. "Oh, it's pretty big," the Vermonter replaied. "My farm extends for about a hundred yards in that direction and for nearly a hundred-twenty yards in that. And how large an acreage do you handle?" The Texan smiled. "Back home," he said, "I have a ranch with my house located at one end. I can get into my truck at the house in the morning, turn the ignition key, step on the gas, and by the end of the day I still won't have reached the other end." The Vermont farmer
nodded sympathetically. "Yeah, that's tough. I once had a truck like
that,
too." |

They sell the entire truck load of melons, 2 for $1.00. On the way home one farmer says to the other, "You know, we really didn't make too much money. How do you figure it?" The other one answers, "We gotta get a bigger truck." |
