Once upon a time

a traveling salesman was traveling the hot back forty of a dusty State. It was very hot. He was traveling in a rented car when he suddenly had a flat tire. When he got out to change the tire he was surprised the car had no jack with which to change the tire. He looked around and noticed he was not far from a farm house. He thought maybe the people there would lend him a jack.

As we are apt to do he became anxious about the situation. He thought, maybe the farmer would set some dogs on him because he was a stranger. Well, I have to keep going and he kept walking toward the house. As he got closer he thought, maybe the people will charge him an extortion ransom to use a jack. He didn't have the cash. Well, he just kept walking toward the house, what choice did he have? As he approached the door he thought, maybe these people have a gun and will just shoot a stranger as look at him.

Finally, he knocked on the door and a man answered with a very friendly smile and said "how can I help you sir?"

The man replied, "fuck you and you can keep your fucking jack!"
