The Farmer Who Couldn’t Get Out of The Grave

There was a certain man who often walked through a cemetery on his way home. However, one night, though, unaware that a new grave had been dug in his path, he tumbled in the new grave. For some time, afterwards, he struggled to get out of the 7 foot deep grave, until finally he gave up and settled down for the night. An hour later, a farmer who was out hunting for racoons and possums came walking through the cemetery and he too fell into the grave. The farmer started a desperate attempt to get out; unaware that there was anyone else in the grave. The first man listened to him for a few minutes, then he reached over in the pitch darkness and laid a hand on the man’s shoulder saying, “You can’t get out of here.” BUT HE DID. (Source Unknown).
