John saw his old friend Tom, a seventy five-year-old planter, in town.

Tom had lost his wife some years before and rumour had it that he was marrying his young maid.

Being a good friend, John asked Tom if the rumour was true.

Tom assured him that it was. John then asked Tom the age of his new bride to be. Tom proudly said, “She'll be twenty-one in November.”

Now John, being the wise man that he was, could see that the sexual appetite of a young woman could not be satisfied by a seventy five-year-old man.

Wanting his old friend's remaining years to be happy John tactfully suggested that Tom should consider getting a hired hand to help him out on the plantation, knowing that the nature would take its own course.

Tom thought this was a good idea and said he would look for one that afternoon.

About five months later, John ran into Tom in town again.
“'How's the new wife?” asked John.

Tom proudly said, “Good - she's pregnant.”

John, happy that his sage advice had worked out, continued, “And how's the hired hand?”

Without hesitating, Tom said, “She's pregnant too.”
