A farmer was standing beside a big pile of stones on one side of the dirt road, and on top of the stones was perched a lantern.

A motorist from the city stopped and asked, “Say, Old Man, what’s the light on top of that stone pile for?â€

“It’s there so you drivers kin see the pile of stones – of course.â€

“But what’s that pile of stones for?†the motorist insisted.

“Can’t you see — you dern fool!†replied the old farmer. “To put the lamp on — of course.†1936
