A Traveling Salesman Was Driving Through Farm Country.

 

A travelling salesman was driving through farm country.

He took his eye off the road for a second, then all of a sudden “WHAM!” — he ran over a rooster crossing the road.

He stopped the car, got out, confirmed the rooster was dead and saw a nearby farmhouse.

He drove up to the house, knocked on the door, and an old farmer answered.

The salesman said,

“I was driving past and I think I accidentally ran over your rooster. I’m terribly sorry, but I’m more than willing to replace him.”

The farmer looked puzzled for a minute, and finally shrugged his shoulders and said

“Suit yourself. The hens are around the back.”
