farmers Daughter

A farmer, that lived near Bar Harbor, had had quite a few real good years. Had bucks enough to send his daughter to Harvard.

Second year of school daughter brings home a few of her debutant friends during Christmas Vaca.

Second morning the old man get up from the breakfast table and says "Ayuh guess I had better spread some manure" and walks out.

Daughter turns to mother and say in her best Boston Debutant voice "Mother, can't you get Father to at least say fertilizer?"

Mother turns to daughter "Do you know how many years it took me to get your father to say manure?"
