A farmer and his wife were laying in bed one night, the farmer
feeling
a little frisky, reaches over and gives his wife's breast a little
feel
and says, 'Mother, if this could give milk, we could get rid of
the
cow.'

this
could give eggs, we could get rid of the chickens.'
His wife then reaches over and grabs his penis. 'Father, if this
could
stay hard, we could get rid of your brother'.
