Ditch ‘Em

Moishe and Miriam Kaplan moved away from the city to a farm as that had always been Miriam’s dream. Moishe was having trouble making ends meet on the farm so he would drive around the backroads seeing if any motorists needed help.

Sure enough, one day, after being bogged down in a muddy ditch, a motorist paid Moishe fifty dollars to pull him out with his tractor. After he was back on dry ground, he said to Moishe, "At those prices, I bet you’d want to pull people out of muddy ditches day and night."

"I can't," replied Moishe.

“Why not?” asked the motorist.”

"At night I haul water to the ditch."
