Be bitten again. I guarantee it."
The farmer was dubious. "Young man, I'll make you
A proposition. I'll tie you out in my cornfield buck
Naked, covered with that bug spray. If there is not
A single bite on you come morning, I'll buy a whole
Case from you.
The salesman was delighted. They went to the field
And he stripped. The farmer sprayed him thoroughly
With the bug spray and tied him to a stake.
Back to the house went the farmer.
The next morning, the farmer and his family
Trooped out to the cornfield.
Sure enough, the salesman was there,
Hanging in his bonds, not a single bite on him.
Yet he was a total wreck! Pale, ghastly, haggard,
And drawn, but not one bite on him.
The farmer was perplexed. "Son," he said,
"Now, you don't have a bite on you but you
Look like hell! What the devil happened?"
The salesman looked up through bloodshot eyes and croaked,
"Doesn't that calf have a mother?"
TAKE IT OFF ME......
