A man was visiting his sister and her husband who lived on a farm in a poor district of the country. Since they had limited accommodations, he had to sleep with his young nephew.

When he entered the bedroom, he saw his small nephew kneeling at the side of the bed with his head bowed. Thinking this was the child's religious upbringing, he decided to present a good example and kneeled at the other side of the bed with his head bowed.

His nephew looked over and asked, "Whatcha doin'?"

"Why, I'm doing the same thing you're doing," replied the uncle.

"Ma's going to be mad," the nephew said. "The pot's on this side!"
