Bug Spray Salesman

A salesman was traveling through the countryside, selling
insect repellent.  He came to a farmhouse and tried his
pitch on the farmer.

"Sir, my bug spray is so good you will never be bitten again,
I guarantee it."

The farmer was dubious. but said, "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 of that bug spray
from you."

The salesman was delighted as this would be his first sale.
They went to the field and the young man stripped to the skin.
The farmer sprayed him thoroughly with the bug spray and tied
him to a stake, leaving him there for the night.

The next morning, the farmer and his family trooped out to
the cornfield.  Sure enough, there was the  salesman, hanging
in his bonds, and not a single bite on him.  Looking closer
at the young fellow the farmer could see he was a total wreck!
Pale, ghastly, haggard, and drawn, but not one single bite on
him.

The farmer was perplexed.  He said, "Well Son,  what the
sam-hill happened to you?  You don't have a bite on you but
you look like hell!!  You look like you've been drugged through
a knot hole!!"

The salesman looked up through bloodshot eyes and wearily
croaked, "For crying out loud, Mister, doesn't that calf over
there have a mother?!!!"
