A farmer hires a young man to help him build some new out houses at the farm. Running low on cement, he tells him to go into town and get some more. He gives him the keys to the truck and the address of the depot, as the kid is new to the area.
Half an hour later, he still hasn't got back from what should have been a fifteen minute job, and so he rings him on his mobile phone. " Where are you?" asks the farmer. "You won't believe this!" says the worker, "I've hit a pig a little way down the road- and he's stuck in the crash bars on the truck! He's squealing the place down! What shall I do?"
The farmer sighs. "Dammit! There's a shotgun under the back of the seats. Put a round in his head, untangle him and throw him in the ditch. I'll pick him up later." The kid agrees and hangs up. 45 minutes later- still no sign of the kid. The farmer redials him. "Where the hell are you? Did you do what I told you?" The kid stammers back, "Yes sir, I did all that" "So what's the problem ?" says the farmer. "Er... His motorcycle is stuck under the front axle...." came the reply.
