A FARMER went to see an attorney about getting a divorce, and the
following discussion took place.
Attorney: "Well, do you have grounds?"
Farmer: "Yes, I have about 140 acres."
Attorney: "No, you dont understand. Do you have a case?"
Farmer: "No, but I have a John Deere."
Attorney: "You still dont understand. I mean, do you have a grudge?"
Farmer: "Yes, sir--thats where I keep my John Deere."
Attorney: "No, no! I mean do you have a suit?"
Farmer: "Yes, sir--I wear it to church every Sunday."
Attorney: "Well, does your wife beat you up?"
Farmer: "No, sir. We both get up at 4:30."
Attorney: "All right, all right. Let me put it this way. Why do you
want a divorce?"
Farmer: "Well, I never have been able to have a meaningful
conversation with that woman."
