Ole Pete and the Politicians

(...with thanks to Nick Offerman)

A bus loaded with politicians was driving down a country road when the bus suddenly veered off the road and straight into Old Pete's barn. It was a terrible accident. Old Pete got off his tractor and went to investigate the carnage, which was considerable. After some consideration, he saw no choice but to dig a large hole and bury the politicians.

A few days later the local sheriff came out and saw the crashed bus. He asked Old Pete what had happened to the politicians and Pete said he had buried them.

"Good grief," the sheriff said, "were they all dead?"

Old Pete replied, "Well, some of them said they weren't, but you know, you never can trust a politician."
