A Ritchie County , West Virginia farmer got in his pickup and drove to a
neighboring farm and knocked at the door. A young boy about 9 years old
opened the door. 'Is yer Dad home?' the farmer asked. 'No sir, he ain't,'
the boy replied. 'He went into town.'

'Well,' said the farmer, 'is yer Mom here?' 'No, sir, she ain't here
neither. She went into town with Dad.'

'How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?' 'He went with Mom and Dad.'

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the
other and mumbling to himself.

'Is there anything I can do fer ya?' the boy asked politely. 'I know where
all the tools are if you want to borry one. Or maybe I could take a message
fer Dad.'

'Well,' said the farmer uncomfortably, 'I really wanted to talk to yer Dad.
It's about your Brother Howard getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, Pregnant.'
The boy considered for a moment. 'You would have to talk to Pa about that
but 'If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $100 for the bull and $50
for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets fer Howard.'
