A farmer and his young bride lived rather far out in the country. The preacher would stop by, and of course, they would invite him in for a chicken dinner. This went on and on. The preacher was there almost every day, but the farmer had to go out in the fields to work, so the preacher would stay with the young bride. Every time that he came over, the young wife would have the farmer kill a chicken for dinner. After a particularly hard day's work, the farmer was driving the tractor into the barn. The young bride stepped out on the porch and hollered at him to get her a chicken, so that she could cook one for the preacher. The farmer hollered, "Screw the preacher!" To which the young bride replied, "I already did, but I still need the chicken." |
