old man

[charger490]

The banker saw his old friend Tom, an eighty-year old rancher, in town.

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, "Oh, 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."



Don't ever underestimate old geezers.
