One of You Will Have to Sleep in the Barn

An insurance salesman, risk manager and a safety director are traveling in the countryside. Weary, they stop at a small country inn. “I only have two rooms, so one of you will have to sleep in the barn,” the innkeeper says.

The safety director volunteers to sleep in the barn, goes outside, and the others go to bed.

In a short time they’re awakened by a knock. It’s the safety director, who says, “There’s a cow in that barn. I’m a Hindu, and it would offend my beliefs to sleep next to a sacred animal.”

The risk manager says that, OK, he’ll sleep in the barn.

The others go back to bed, but soon are awakened by another knock.

It’s the risk manager who says, “There’s a pig in the barn. I’m Jewish, and cannot sleep next to an unclean animal.”

So the insurance salesman is sent to the barn.

It’s getting late, the others are very tired and soon fall asleep.

But they’re awakened by an even louder knocking. They open the door and are surprised by what they see: It’s the cow and the pig!
