a travelling salesman was going down a country road, when his car broke down. after tinkering with it for awhile he realized that he wasn't going to get it running himself, so he started walking. about 4 miles up the road he saw an old farmhouse and decided to ask for help. a man answered the door.
"how are you this evening?"
"not too bad but i'm having some car trouble, you think you might give me a hand?"
"well i'd be happy to but i wouldn't know the first thing about fixing your car."
"do you think you could run me into town then?"
"wouldn't do any good this late, everything is already closed up, and there's no motel in that little town. though you'd be welcome to stay here tonight, and we'll go to town at first light."
"i'd be much obliged, thank you!"
then the farmer said "now i have to warn you about a couple things first. you see, all my boys and girls have already moved away, and me and my wife are happily married. this isn't even a working farm anymore and i've gotten rid of all the farm animals, so there's nothing in the barn either, okay?"
to which the salesman replied "well then, i must be in the wrong joke!"
