An old man was setting on his porch, when a young man walked up with a pad and pencil in his hand.
Â
"What are you selling, young man," he asked.
Â
"I’m not selling anything, Sir," the young man replied. "I’m a Census Taker."
Â
"A what?" the man asked.
Â
"A Census Taker. We are trying to find out how many people are in the United States."
Â
"Well," the man answered, "you’re wasting your time with me. I have no idea."
