Two farmhands were working in the field one hot day when an accomplished lawyer who was passing through decided to recline in the shade of a nearby tree.

One of the farmhands approached him and asked "how did you get to be so wealthy?" to which the lawyer replied "Well son, I have an education."

The farmhand asked, "What is an education?"

The lawyer put his hand against the tree and told the worker to hit is hand as hard as he could with his shovel.

After a brief reluctant pause the farmhand proceeded to swing at the lawyer's hand. Moments before impact the lawyer moved his hand away and the farmhand hit the center of the tree with a tremendous force.

"That son, is an education," the lawyer replied as he began to continue on his way leaving the farmhand recovering from the shock of the tree.

By this time the second farmhand had wandered up to the first and asked about his conversation with the stranger.

"He taught me about having an education," the farmhand replied.

"Well, what is an education?" the other inquired.

To that, the first farmhand put his hand in front of his face and said, "Hit my hand with that shovel as hard as you can."
