An old man and his son had a one-horse farm where they
An old man and his son had a one-horse farm where they barely made a living. Then, one day, the son hit the lottery and won $50,000. The young man rushed into town, collected his money, then hurried back home. He ran across the field, told his father the news, and handed the older man a $50 bill. The father looked at the money for a moment and then said, “Son, you know I’ve always been careful with what little money we had. I didn’t spend it on whiskey or women. In fact, I couldn’t even afford the license to legally marry your Ma.” “Pa!” the young man stammered, “do you know what that makes me?” “Yep,” said the old man fingering the $50, “… and a cheap one, too.
