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."
