A young farmer couple got married, and they just couldnt seem to get enough lovin. Just before leaving the house for the fields at dawn, they made love, and when the husband returned home at evening they had another go – both before and after supper, and then again a few more times during the night.

The problems only happened during the day. The fields were far away from the house and the young man lost half an hour each time traveling home and back again at noon. Finally he decided to consult a friend, the towns doctor, about what to do.



Easiest thing in the world, Homer said the doctor. You take your rifle out with you every day dont you? Well, when you feel like youre in the mood for some lovin, just fire a shot into the air as a signal to your wife, for her to come out to you. That way you wont lose any workin time.



Homer tried his friends solution and it seemed to work pretty well for a while. One day though, the doctor stopped by the house to pay a visit and he noticed Homer sitting alone inside looking very somber.



Whats wrong? he asked. Didnt my idea work? Wheres your wife?



Oh, it worked says Homer. Whenever I got in the mood I fired off a shot like you said, and Beckied come runnin. Then wed find a secluded place and make love. Then Beckied go back home.



So whats the problem?



Well I think I overdid it, Doc. I aint seen hide nor hair of Beckie since hunting season got started…
