in thread For retirement, I am banking on:

Three family farmers meet at the diner for coffee on a cold winter morning. The conversation wanders on until a kibitzer asks them to tell what they'd do if they won the lottery.

Farmer One ponders; then announces he'd go to Florida or California... "and take my Grandkids to Disneyland."

The others nod and Farmer Two speaks up: "Well, my idea is for just the wife and me: a cruise around the world on the fanciest boat we can find."

One mutters an acknowledgement; Three clears his throat.

"Those are right interesting, but I 'spect I'll just keep right on farmin' 'till I go broke."

    The version I heard was not quite as good. Went something like; Having won the lottery, a life-long farmer was asked what he would do with all the money he won. "Keep on farming 'til it's gone." was his reply.

    Yup, I reckon so...
