Friday Funny #174

March 22, 2013

Beings both of my grandfathers, as well as both of my great-grandfathers were South Dakota farmers…this joke made me laugh.
🙂
An 80-year-old South Dakota farmer goes to the Mayo clinic in Rochester for a check-up.The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, “How do you stay in such great physical condition?”

“I’m from South Dakota and I’m up well before daylight feeding cattle, mending fences, planting, baling hay, and when I’m not doing that, I’m out hunting or fishing. In the evening, I have a beer and all is well.”

“I’m sure that helps, but there’s got to be more to it,” the doctor said. “How old was your father when he died?’

“Who said my father’s dead?”

The doctor is amazed. “You mean you’re 80 years old and your father’s still alive? How old is he?”

“He’s 100 years old. In fact he worked with and hunted with me this morning, and then we went to the bar for a while. He’s a South Dakota farmer too.”

“That’s great, but I’m sure there’s more to it than that. How about your father’s father? How old was he when he died?”

“Who said my grandpa’s dead?”

Stunned, the doctor says, “You mean you’re 80 years old and your grandfather’s still alive?”

“Yep. He’s 118 years old.”

The doctor is getting frustrated at this point. “So, I guess he went hunting with you this morning too?”

“Nope. Grandpa couldn’t go this morning because he’s getting married today.”

At this point the doctor is close to losing it. “Getting married? Why would a 118 year-old guy want to get married?”

“Who said he wanted to?'”

    LOL. That is good L. We have a 105 yr old man at Nursing Home and he’s still has his mind and I’m sure he went hunting not that long ago. We do raise them well here in the Dakota’s.

    I have several generations of Illinois farmers in my family tree. Unless they had a farm accident, they all lived into their 80’s and 90’s. And, usually, the women outlived the men. Also funny that he was at Mayo. Many of my family farmers would go there every year for a check up too. Happy Friday, everyone!

    Family came to South Dakota in the 1850’s. And the home farm is still in the family being farmed by my cousin. Proud, proud, proud.
