An elderly man had owned a large farm in Louisiana for many years. Right at the back of the farm, there was a large pond ideal for swimming. The old farmer had fixed it up nicely with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.
One evening, the farmer decided to go down to the pond to look it over, as he hadn’t been there for a while. Before setting off, he grabbed a 5-gallon bucket, intending to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he could hear voices shouting and laughing with joy. It was clear that someone was having a good time. Approaching, the farmer saw a group of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. Upon noticing him, they all swam to the far end, trying to cover up.
One woman then shouted, “We are not coming out until you leave, Mister!”
The farmer calmly responded, “Ladies, I didn’t come down here to watch you swim naked or to make you get out of the pond.” With a mischievous smile, he held up his bucket and added, “I just came down here to feed the alligators.”
