A traveling salesman tale

A traveling saleman found himself, very late at night, far into the the country without a motel in sight.

He stopped at a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could possibly spend the night. The farmer kindly agreed, but told the salesman he would have to share the bed with his young son.

Having no alternative, the salesman agreed. Just after they tucked in for the night, the young boy jumped out of bed, and kneeled by the side of the bed.

The salesman, deciding that he should follow the boy's example, got out of bed and kneeled down on his own side of the bed.

When the boy saw this, he asked the salesman..."say....what're ya doin?"... the salesman replied "why...I'm doing the same thing your doing".

They boy responded "I hope not. The pot's over here!"
