A small-town farmer had three daughters. Being a single father, he tended to be overprotective of his daughters. When gentlemen came to take his daughters out on a date, he would greet them with a shotgun to make sure they knew who was boss.

One evening, all of his daughters were going out on dates. The doorbell rang, so the farmer got his shotgun and answered the door.

A gentlemen caller said, "Hi, I'm Joe. I'm here for Flo. We're goin' to the show. Is she ready to go?"

The farmer frowned but decided to let them go.

The doorbell rang again, so the farmer got his shotgun and answered the door.

A gentlemen caller said, "Hi, I'm Eddie. I'm here for Betty. We're gettin' spaghetti. Is she ready?"

The farmer frowned but decided to let them go.

The doorbell rang again, so the farmer got his shotgun and answered the door.

A gentlemen caller said, "Hi, I'm Chuck --"

And the farmer shot him.
