Yes we will keep the jokes coming! This one i figured might give some of us dutchmen a laugh! Also forgive me if its been done before.
A Farmer and a City boy are in the outhouse and when the farmers done and he's pulling his pants up, a quarter fell down the hole. So he got out his wallet and threw a $5 bill down the hole. The city boy, in disbelief, said, "what'd you do that for?!" The farmer says, "you don't think I'm going down there for just a quarter do you?"
