Traveling Salesman:
There was once a traveling salesman whose car broke down in the rain. He ran to the closest farmhouse and quickly knocked at the door. An old farmer answered and the salesman pleaded for a place to spend the night.
"I'll give you board," the farmer said, "but I ain't got no daughter for you to sleep with."
"Oh." said the salesman. "Then how far is the next house?"
Submitter comment:
I remember this from Awrey's Bakery, where I worked this summer.
