"Outhouse"
Once there was a little boy who lived in the country.
They had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated
it because it was hot in the summer, cold in the winter
and stank all the time. The outhouse was sitting on
the bank of a creek and the boy determined that one
day he would push that outhouse into the creek.
One day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen
so the little boy decided today was the day to push
the outhouse into the creek. So he got a large stick
and started pushing. Finally, the outhouse toppled
into the creek and floated away.
That night his dad told him they were going to the
woodshed after supper. Knowing that meant a
spanking, the little boy asked why. The dad replied,
"Someone pushed the outhouse into the creek today.
It was you, wasn't it, son?" The boy answered yes.
Then he thought a moment and said, "Dad, I read in
school today that George Washington chopped down
a cherry tree and didn't get into trouble because he
told the truth."
The dad replied, "Well, son, George Washington's
father wasn't in that cherry tree."
