Slowly meandering down the gravel country road, Missy was enchanted by the absolute quaintness of it all. In her job as a Mary Kay sales rep, she rarely had time to enjoy the sights, till now, as vacation beckoned.
That is, until her pink Cadillac sputtered to a stop, refusing to start again.
Luckily, an old farmer on a tractor came to her aid and offered her lodging for the night, albeit, in the barn.
Being one to accept life's challenges, she took him up on the offer.
"Leave my daughters alone," he admonished.
"Daughters? Crap! I broke down in the wrong joke."

LOL. You are fast and very clever.
Kay,
Actually, I'm not as clever as I thought. I went looking for "traveling salesman jokes", to link for anyone who didn't "get" this, and found three others with the same punch line...Arghh!
HAHA! That's a good one, Donna!
Farmboys! Beware!
Ain't it the truth, EM.
Hee hee. Cute story, but it's even funnier considering you found three other instances of this with the same punchline! LOL! I thought it was clever. Finding only 3 instances on the internet means you're in rare company! Think of it ... 4 people in the whole world with the same joke? Pretty high odds! :)
Well, they weren't exactly the same, but it was the same premise. Doggone it! So much for originality. I guess its true, there's nothing new under the sun.
So you're 1 out of what? Some kind of billions? I don't think that's bad. Better even than 1 in a million :) Honored to know you.
HAHA!!!~ =D Your mind is a definite carnival ride~ =D
Just call me "Tilt-a-Whirl"...or maybe "funhouse"...teeheehee
Thanks for posting to GutterGirls~
LMBO!
~ The sisters were very upset to see that bright pink caddy sitting in daddy's barn.
"Ooohhh, we'll fix That!" They both avowed. ' How dare Daddy to allow That type in here!"
The next morning, sisters two met the hayloft sleeper as she climbed down the ladder. "Here's a breakfast sandwitch for the road." said one, whereupon the other spoke up and said: " Your car is all fixed, pink lady. Now git!"
They watched with glee as the mary kay rep climbed into her car and gunned out of the barn. Two minutes later, they laughed with abandon upon hearing the loud explosion, and one pointed happily to the pieces of pink car coming down from the sky.
" Daddy knows we are diehard Avon reps...wonder why he let that, that interloper stay?"
"Don't know, but sure am glad we watched that "Mcygyver" episode on car bombs
last week, right, sis?"~
OH, Hell No!!! Missy was wondering why they wouldn't take those free samples.
Flippin' hilarious, penni!!!
This is historical fiction based in the great Avon vs. Mary Kay War of 1968-1982, right?
We lost many shades of lipstick in those tragic times.
Not to mention the "pancake" makeup.
Heh,heh
I forgot to put the part in where the sisters were wearing matching shades of *putrid purple* lipstick, which made Missy a bit nervous as she subconciously reconized that shade as danger!,lol... had she thought about it, she may have been too leery to get in the car.... Ka Boom!
(( BTW... My mom was an avon woman, ha ha))
Penni, Do you live downwind from the marijuana police bonfires??? AVON!!!!! LOL!!!
If you do...is the house next door available?
Can I rent a room just for me and my stereo?
Sure, I'll share my space, as long as you bring the munchies, and it better not be those vegan hot dogs!
Come on folks! I am downwind of the "POT" burns...and there is handy lil Snack store right here too :)
LOL. Love the ending twist.
Thanks, Bill, but I think penni has me beat.
lol... I couldn't post it as a story because I just had to jump off you, Donna, and then I wasn't restricted to 100 words. You should have SEEN the look on my Mom's face whenever SHE saw those pink cars while she was the avon rep...if Looks could Kill..
I don't wear either of their stuff . Avon cologne smells like rubbing alcohol within 20 minutes of application, and Mary kay makeup feels like the greasepaint I used to wear in plays.
BTW...hijack my stories anytime you like, dear.
I don't wear either brand, Donna, but sure had some fun with all those lipstick samples as a child....lipstick on the cats, the dog, my younger brother....wayyy fun! :)
Donna, you are a hoot! Very funny story. Once again, a surprize ending!
Greeeat punchline -- Donna shoots; she scores!
This is super fantastic!
I love the last lines!
(Personally, I think you had the first version of this joke, but the other three sites merely found it and had to add their versions.)
