I Never Work after Supper
A very mean farmer doesn't want his hired hand to stop working. One morning, he tells the farmhand, “It's such a trouble to come in from the field, wash up for lunch and take time to eat. Why don't we save time and eat lunch now?”
The hired man agrees. The farmer's wife brings in some cold meat and fried potatoes, and the two men eat again. When they finish, the mean farmer says, “While we're still at the table, let's have supper, too.” They are now served steak, boiled potatoes and mixed vegetables, and they eat once more.
“Now that we have the three meals,” the farmer says, “we can go out and work all day without trouble of the meals.”
“Oh, no,” the farmhand answers, “I never work after supper.”
