[AT] (clean) joke for a slow tractor day

A farmer finally decided to buy a TV. The store assured him that they
would install the antenna and TV the next day.

The next evening the farmer turned on his new TV and found only
political ads on every channel. The next morning he turned the TV on
and found only political ads again.

When he came in to eat lunch he tried the TV again but still
only found political ads.

The next day when he still found only political ads he called the
store to complain. The owner said that it was impossible for every
channel to only have political ads, but agreed to send their
repairman to check the TV.

When the TV repairman turned on the TV he found that the farmer was
right. After looking at the TV for a while he went outside to check
the antenna. In a few minutes he returned and told the farmer he had
found the problem.

The antenna had been installed on top of the windmill and grounded to
the manure spreader.
