Horse Sitting
Published Sep 03, 2003
A man was going out of town and needed to board his horse for a couple of months.
He asked a local farmer about it and was told, "Sure, but I charge $50 per week, and I keep the manure." The fellow can't afford that, so the farmer referred him to ol' Jones,down the road.
When approached with the request, Jones said, "Yup, I can do it for $40 a week, and I keep the manure." This is still too much, and Jones suggested that he try Mr. Brown.
When our desperate friend asked Mr. Brown, he is surprised to hear, "Sure, Sonny. I'll be glad to for $5 a month."
With delight, the young man exclaimed, "WOW! I suppose for that price you'll want to keep the manure."
The old man looked at him with kind of a squint, and replied, "Feller, for $5 a month, there ain't gonna be none!"
