***********************************

A farmer goes to a livestock dealer and buys an anvil, a bucket, two chickens, and a goose. The farmer looks at his purchases and says, “Damn, I WALKED here. How am I gonna carry all this home?

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!” the farmer said, and off he went.

While walking home he met a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, “Can you tell me how to get to 1515 Mockingbird Lane?”

The farmer said, “Well, as a matter of fact, I live just down the road from there. 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?”

The farmer said, “Holy smokes 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?”

She replied, “Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket … and I’ll hold the chickens.”

I had a 1965 yellow VW with a black convertible top. Bought it for $600. Sold it 3 years later for $635.

I had a 68 light pale blue Beetle Bug. That when the streets in Norfolk & Portsmouth, VA was flooded with rainwater. My Beetle could float down the streets in both cities liked a boat. LOL

Ours was orange, purchased used in 1975. Probably ~1970 model. Ultimately traded for a VW minibus as the family outgrew the Bug.

A bit of a kick to see Henry Gibson in an early VW commercial.

That was a great video. Those VW bugs were strong , tough and cheap.
LOL, who could afford a new VW in college in the 60's. Not I.
$1999.00 was big money in that decade. LOL

If you don't know that ad, then this joke (the conclusion of the car chase scene in "What's Up Doc") will float right past you.

That bug is obviously not floating but is sitting in shallow water somewhere.

From https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/whats-up-doc-review/

Bogdanovich and his crew were told Volkswagens float, but learned the hard way that this is not true. The VW was the first car in the water, and the stuntman inside had been driving 70 mph without an oxygen tank. The car “went down like a stone, and it was very deep.” The door wouldn’t open, but he managed to escape through the windshield, which had caved in. Bogdanovich said everyone watching was “standing there dying” because it took him about three minutes to finally reach the water’s surface. “John Ford gave me a very good piece of advice. He said, ‘Never rehearse action.’ I said, ‘Why not?’ He said, ‘Somebody could get hurt.’” Bogdanovich followed Ford’s advice and everyone managed to survive the making of What’s Up, Doc? He also recognized his stuntmen’s invaluable contribution, and What’s Up, Doc? was the first Hollywood film to list its stuntmen in the credits. “They were extraordinary,” Bogdanovich said. “The chase was undoable without them.”
