There once was a farmer who was raising 3 daughters on his own.He was very concerned about their well being and always did his best to watch out for them.As they entered the late teens the girls dated and on this particular evening all three girls were going out on a date.This was the first time this had occurred.As was his custom,he would greet the young suitor at the door holding his shotgun,not to menace or threaten but merely to ensure that the young man knew who was boss.The doorbell rang and the first of the boy's presented himself at the door.
Father answered the door and the lad said"Hi,my name's Joe,I'm here for Flo.We're going to a show,is she ready to go?"The father looked him over and sent the kid's on their way.The next lad arrived and said"My names Eddie,I'm here for Betty,we're gonna get some spaghetti,is she ready?"Father felt this one was ok too so off the two kids went.The final young man arrived and the farmer opened the door.The boy started off"Hi,my names Chuck...and the farmer shot him.
