It was getting late and the footman traveling salesman didn’t relish the thought of having to sleep outside when he came along a farmhouse.
He knocked on the house door and the farmer of the house answered,
“Yes, sonny. Is there something I can do fer yas?”
The salesman replied, “Yes, Sir could you put me up for the night? It’s getting awfully late and I’d hate to have to sleep outside.”
“I don’t rightly think that woulds be a good idea and I don’t have a hankerin for strangers sleepin in me house”, the farmer replied.
The salesman begged, “Please, Sir anywhere would be fine. Even the floor of your house would be okay.”
The farmer pondered a moment and responded, “Well sonny, there is me barn, but it’s an old barn. I don’t rightly know how she was able to keep standing this long, but she has. I fear though any loud sound might bring her a crashing down.”
The salesman immediately piped in, “That’ll be fine!”
“Okay sonny, just you be careful then and no loud sounds”, said the farmer.

That night the farmer was woke-up by a blood curdling shriek of pure terror!
Followed by the earth shattering crash of his barn!
Immediately the farmer called Emergency care of the nearest Hospital fearing the worst has happened to the salesman!

As the paramedics wheeled the barely clinging to life salesman the farmer ran to the wheeled stretcher the salesman was on and asked him, “Why sonny, why? Why did you yell when I told ya me old barn was so rickety and abouts ready to fall.”
The salesman answered between gasping breathes, “Well, that snake that curled up next to my neck to keep warm I could handle though I was frightfully scared, and that monster of a spider that crawled across my chest had me sweating bullets by the bucket full, but when that squirrel came for another nut, my God,
I just had to yell!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
