A young man graduated from University of Kentucky with a degree in
Journalism. His first assignment for the newspaper who
Hired him was to write a human interest story. Being from Kentucky, he went
To the Indiana country to do his research.
He went to an old farmer's house way back in the hills, introduced himself
To the farmer and proceeded to explain to him why he was there. The young Man asked, "Has anything ever happened around here that made you happy?"
The farmer thought for a minute and said, "Yep! One time one of my
Neighbor's' sheep got lost. We formed a posse and found it. We all screwed It and took it back home."
"I can't print that!" the young man exclaimed. "Can you think of anything
Else that happened that made you or a lot of other people happy?"
After another moment, the farmer said, "Yeah, one time my neighbor's
Daughter, a good looking girl, got lost. We formed a big posse that time and Found her. After we all screwed her, we took her back home."
Again, the young man said, "I can't print that either. Has anything ever
Happened around here that made you sad?"
The old farmer dropped his head as if he were ashamed and after a few
Seconds looked up timidly at the young man and
Said, "I got lost once...."
