``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!''
