There was this young couple living on a rural farm—let’s call them Hank and Rosie—who had just tied the knot. They were crazy in love and couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

Every morning before Hank headed out to tend the fields, they’d share some intimate time together.

When he returned for lunch? Same thing. After dinner? Yep, again. And once more before they went to sleep.

The trouble came in the middle of the day. That lunchtime rendezvous was costing Hank a full hour—thirty minutes to get home, thirty to get back. His farm chores were starting to fall behind.

So Hank decided to talk to the local doctor for advice.

The doc thought for a moment and said, “Hank, here’s an idea. Next time you’re out working and feel the urge, just fire your shotgun up into the sky. That can be Rosie’s cue to come meet you in the fields. This way, you stay productive and still enjoy your married life.”

Hank figured it was worth a shot—literally. And for a while, it worked like a charm. Anytime he fired his gun, Rosie would come running, they’d sneak off behind a haystack, and then she’d head back home.

A few weeks later, Hank showed up at the doctor’s office again.

The doc asked, “Something wrong with the plan?”

“It was working just fine,” Hank said. “Every time I shot into the air, Rosie came runnin’, we’d do our thing, and I’d be back to work in no time.”

“So what’s the issue?” asked the doctor.

“Well,” Hank scratched his head, “I think I trained her a little too well… I ain’t seen her since hunting season started!”
