| The Pot
      
    
 A young man visited his sister who was married to a farmer 
   in a poor district of the country. Since there were limited 
   accommodations, he was required to sleep with his young 
   nephew.When the young man came into the bedroom, he saw the 
   little boy kneeling at the side of the bed with his head 
   bowed.
 Thinking this was the child's religious upbringing, he 
   decided to present a good example and kneeled at the 
   other side of the bed with his head bowed.
 The child looked up and said, "Whatcha doin'?"
 "Why, the same thing you're doing", replied the uncle.
 "Ma's gonna be real mad", said the boy. "The pot's on 
    this side".
