A farmer and his recently-hired hand were eating an early breakfast of biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon, and coffee that the farmer's wife had prepared for them. Thinking of all the work they had to get done that day, the farmer told the hired hand he might as well go ahead and eat his lunch too. The hired hand didn't say a word but filled his plate a second time and preceded to eat. After a while the farmer said, "We've got so much work to do today, you might as well eat your supper now, too."
Again the hired hand didn't respond but refilled his plate a third time and continued to eat. Finally, after eating his third plate of food, he pushed back in his chair and began to take off his shoes. "What are you doing?!" asked the farmer.
The hired hand replied, "Oh, I don't work after supper."
