ItJust Didn't Make Sense

A city gentleman who had spent a number of Fummer vacations in the Ozark Mountainr, dccided to build a summcr home there

So he m3de a deal with a hillbilly carpenter who came to him well recommended, to build the house. He arranged for the building material and labor money from the nearest bank, and told the hillbilly he would have the plans for the house drawn and sent to him, and to go right to work and complete the place.

A month later he went down there to see how the house was progressing, and found that it had not even been started. When he asked the carpenter why not, the rnorrntain gent explained it to him this way:

"Mister," he said, "the minute I seen them plans you sent me, I knowed somebody had made a awful mistake, and I figgered I better jest hold up the job until you got here to see about it."

The gentleman was deeply puzzled,, looked the plans over, and saw nothing wrong. He asked the carpenter:

"What is this awful mistake in the plans that you're talking about ?"

"Mister," said the other, "you may not believe this, but if Ida gone ahead an'built that house accordin' to them planB, youda had TWO BATHROOMS !"
