Don't Make A Scene

While I was out driving in the country a few weeks ago, I came upon the scene of a bus accident. It appeared that a bus had come around the corner too fast, missed the turn, and carreened across a field until it was abruptly stopped by a large tree.

There was an old farmer near the bus, leaning on a shovel. There was a fresh mound of dirt behind him.

I stopped the car and yelled out the window, "Looks like a bad accident. Anybody hurt?"

The farmer said, "Quite a few people actually." He pointed to the remains of the bus. "That was a busload of politicians going to a fund raising rally over at the Grange." Then he pointed at the dirt pile, " I just buried 'em there."

I gasped and asked, "All of them? Were they all dead then?"

The old farmer replied, "Well, some of them said they weren't, but you know how them politicians lie."
