An artist, an architect and a farmer are asked if they'd rather have a wife or a mistress.

The artist replies "Man, I'd take a mistress, ya know? nothing tied down, no commitment. yeah, a mistress is the way to go."

The architect replies "Well, I think I would have to say I'd prefer a wife. I'd like to start a family and build on that foundation."

The farmer replies "I'd like to have both. That way each of them would think I was with the other and I could go down to the fields and get some work done."
