Tall Tales from a Country Church! (Humor)

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty - Atlantic Shore

In an old country church a young pastor arrived, very excited to be at his first church.  After waiting a while, it seemed that only one old farmer had shown up.  

The pastor was disappointed and said to the farmer, "The seems to be no one else coming, perhaps we should cancel the service."

Obviously the young pastor was thrilled.  He went on to preach a fire and brimstone sermon for the next 45 minutes.

When he was done, he asked the farmer what he thought about the service.

The farmer responded, "Well sir, I don't know much bout preachin', but I do know somthin' bout farmin'.  If I went out to my field to feed my cattle and I found only one cow, I wouldn't give 'em the whole bale."

Not sure how this fits into real estate or if you meant for it to. In real estate you should alway feed them the full bale.

Thomas & Karen - It's just a funny to get your day started.  I suppose if you want to relate it to real estate, you could say know who to talk to and how to talk to them!

I guess sometimes being short and concise really is the proper approach to a given situation.
