HOW DID IT HAPPEN? the doctor asked the middle-aged
farmhand as he set the mans broken leg.

Well, doc, 25 years ago …

Never mind the past. Tell me how you broke your leg this
morning.

Like I was saying…25 years ago, when I first started
working on the farm, that night, right after Id gone to bed, the
farmers beautiful daughter came into my room. She asked me if
there was anything I wanted.

I said, No, everything is fine.

Are you sure? she asked.

Im sure, I said.

Isnt there anything I can do for you? she wanted to
know. I reckon not, I replied.

Excuse me, said the doctor, What does this story have to
do with your leg?

Well, this morning, the farmhand explained, when it dawned
on me what she meant, I fell off the roof!
