no one rides nothing

A farmer has three sons

One day, his oldest boy comes to him and pleads with him
that he is graduating from school and would really like to get a car.

His father says, 'Son, come with me.'

He takes him to the barn and points to the farm tractor
and says, 'That tractor is needed here on the farm and I promise that
as soon as it's paid for, we'll get you a car.'

The boy was not too happy but he did understand that
situation and said, 'Okay, Dad.'

A week later, his second son (10 years old) approaches
him wanting a new two-wheel bicycle. Well, he gets the same excuse .
'as soon as that tractor is paid for . . '

Shortly, a few days later, son number 3, his youngest,
comes bugging him for a tricycle. Again, ol' Dad gives him the
lecture about the tractor being paid for first.

While leaving the barn, the young boy, more than a little
disgusted with the whole thing, sees a rooster mating with one of the
hens and promptly goes over and kicks the rooster smooth off the
hen's back, mumbling to himself the whole time.

His dad says,
'Son, why on earth would you do something like that? He
didn't do anything to you to deserve that!'

The little boy looks his Dad right square in the eye and
says,
'Hey, nobody rides anything around here until that damn
tractor is paid for.'
