Broken Leg

"Broken Leg"*

*"HOW DID IT HAPPEN?" the doctor asked the
middle-aged farmhand as he set the man's broken leg.

"Well, doc, 25 years ago ..."

"Never mind the past. Tell me how you broke your leg this morning."

"Like I was saying...25 years ago, when I first
started working on the farm, that night, right after
I'd gone to bed, the farmer's beautiful daughter came into my room.
She asked me if there was anything I wanted.

I said, "No, everything is fine."

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"I'm sure," I said.

"Isn't there anything I can do for you?" she wanted to know.

"I reckon not," I replied.

"Excuse me," said the doctor, "What does this
story have to do with your leg?"

"Well, this morning," the farmhand explained, "when
it dawned on me what she meant, I fell off the roof!"
