Prairie Cathedrals
A salesman’s car broke down, so he stopped at a farmhouse.
“You can spend the night,” said the farmer, “if you don’t mind
sleeping with the red-haired school teacher.”
The salesman said “I want you to know I’m a perfect gentleman.”
The farmer grinned as he replied “So is the school teacher.”

“Dat man ober dar say dat womin needs to be helped into carriages,
and lifted ober ditches, and to hab de best place everywhar. Nobody
eber helps me into carriages, or ober mud-puddles, or gibs me any best
place! And a’n’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed,
and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me!”

Happy 4th to you and I hope the farm landscape does not change much with all the drama with fuel going on.

That joke reminded me of a similar version:
Salesman, broken car, farmhouse.
Farmer: You can stay the night, but you’ll have to sleep in the barn with my teenage son.
Salesman: ‘Scuse me. I’m in the wrong joke.
