A ☘️ farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed.. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home.
On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a 5 Ltr tin of paint. He then stopped by the poultry store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases home.
While he was scratching his head, he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, “Can you tell me how to get to Donegal Way?”
The farmer said, “Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close, I would walk you there, but I can't carry this lot.”
The old lady suggested, “Why don't you put the can of paint in the
bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?”
“Well thank you very much,” he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home.
On the way he says “Let's take my short cut and go down this alley.
We'll be there in no time.”
The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, “I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and have your way with me?”
The farmer said, “Holy Mother of Jesus lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a 5 ltr tin of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?”
The old lady replied, “Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens.” 😁😁

You likely know about 'Spitfire Snobbery' among downed Luftwaffe pilots: their insistence that they'd been shot down by a Spitfire. But here's a thread on why the Luftwaffe took a dim view on the Hawker Hurricane, & how they were arguably too harsh on it...

After shagging Kylie Minogue yesterday, I think there are 3 things you should know ? First her fanny is tight as fuck, a real struggle to get in to, secondly she takes up the arse without any complaint & thirdly the staff at Madame Tussauds are miserable fuckers with no sense of humour 😁😁👍🏻
