Once there was a traveling sales man named John, selling his wares on the back roads of Iowa. One evening, he was lost, driving down a deserted country road. When he hit a pothole in the night, it threw him across the ditch and into a tree. John got out of the car, he wasn't hurt but the car wasn't going anywhere. He looked up and down the road. No one would be traveling these roads this late at night he thought. So he picked a direction and started walking.
As John walked in the dark, he could hear all the sounds of the night. "What was that?... "He startled, "Oh just an owl." Then a coyote cried out. "Holy Shit what was that?" He shivered. He picked up his pace. You might even say he started to run a little. Over an hour went by and John came across a farm. He went to the front door and knocked. Soon a old farmer opened the door. As John explained what had happened, he could see the two most beautiful farm girls he had ever seen. One was a gorgeous blonde, the other a gorgeous brunette. John finished his story then asked if the Farmer would have a room he could stay in for the night.
The farmer thought for a moment then gestured to the blonde. "This is my daughter Nellie, she is eighteen." He then pointed to the brunette. "This is my daughter Venus, she is nineteen." The farmer continued. "As you can see they are very beautiful and I'm not going to have you sneaking around my house trying to get in bed with one of them." Sternly he finished "No you can't stay. Be on your way. "
John was tired and begged. "Please sir. Could I stay in your barn? I promise I won't go near your house or your girls."
Once again the farmer thought. Then replied." In that barn sits my antique Chevy it's in mint condition. A very beautiful car. I'm not going to have you sneaking around my Barn messing it up." Once again, sternly he finished "No you can't stay. Be on your way. "
John looked over his shoulder into the darkness. He remembered the owl and the horrifying sounds of the coyotes. Only heaven knows what else lurks in the night out here. He was truly scared to continue walking.
"Sir." John began. "The sounds of the night scare me.. If you'll let me stay in the barn. "He took out his billfold. " I'll give you one thousand dollars. I promise I won't touch your car or come near the house or your girls."
The farmer thought for a moment. The girls watched their father. It had been a hard farming year the crops were short and prices low. The farmer looked to his girls then to the barn and back to the salesman. "Son you don't know how much I need the money but I have to protect my own. " No you can't stay. Be on your way."
Nellie and Venus came up behind their father. winked at John. Nelly said "Father!" He turned to his lovely daughter. She continued, "What would mother think if she knew you were acting like this." "Rest her soul." finished Venus.
