One day, Jones was in town picking up supplies. He stopped by the hardware store and picked up a bucket and an anvil. Then, he stopped by the livestock dealer to buy a couple chickens and a goose. However, he now had a problem how to carry all of his purchases back to his boat. The livestock dealer said, "Why don't you put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?" "Hey, thanks!" said Jones, and off he went.
While walking he met a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to Pier 15 Town Dock?" Jones said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my boats at Pier 16. Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time." The little old lady said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and ravish me?" Jones said, "Holy Moses, lady! I am carrying a bucket, an anvil, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?" The lady said, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."
