English Original
An insect repellent salesman approached a farmer, hoping to sell his product.
The farmer declined, stating he hadn't seen any bugs on his farm for years. The salesman pleaded, explaining he had a wife and four children and desperately needed the money.
Feeling sympathetic but confident, the farmer made an unusual offer: "I'm so sure there are no insects here that if you strip naked and let me tie you to the barnyard fence all night, I'll buy every can you have if you get even one bite by morning."
The salesman, overjoyed, readily agreed. That night, the farmer secured the naked man to the fence and retired. Throughout the night, he heard the salesman moaning and groaning.
However, the next morning, the salesman had not a single insect bite. Puzzled, the farmer asked about the noises.
"That was the worst night of my life," the salesman replied. "Doesn't that damn calf have a mother?"

一名驱虫剂推销员找到一位农夫，试图推销他的产品。
农夫拒绝了，声称自己的农场多年未见任何虫子。推销员恳求道，他需要养家糊口，有妻子和四个孩子，急需用钱。
农夫心生怜悯，但仍坚信自己的判断，于是提出了一个古怪的条件：“我确信这里根本没有虫子。如果你愿意脱光衣服，让我把你绑在谷仓围栏上过一夜，那么到早上只要你身上有一个虫咬的痕迹，我就把你所有的驱虫剂都买下。”
推销员喜出望外，立刻答应了。当晚，农夫将赤身裸体的推销员绑在围栏上便去睡了。夜里，他好几次听到推销员在呻吟哀嚎。
然而，第二天早上，推销员身上一个虫咬的痕迹都没有。农夫大惑不解，问他昨晚为何呻吟。
“那是我一生中最糟糕的一夜，”推销员回答，“难道那头该死的小牛犊没有妈妈吗？”
