  1. There was a strange farmer in a certain locality and he was looking for workmen.
    One morning he went out to see if there was anybody waiting for the position and there were two people waiting.
    He asked the first man what could he do and he said he could do everything and then he asked the second fellow what could he do and he said he could nothing so the farmer asked why and he said that the other fellow said he could do everything
