Honestly, this is a true story documented but I put it in the jokes because it is funny. (As told by a priest but retold by me so not word for word)
There was this section of land that no one really claimed because it was a very swampy area and no team of horses could pull the equipment needed to make hay. (Sorry, I don't remember the correct terms for farm equipment back then.) However, one year one farmer decided to try to hay the upper area where it was a little more dry and managed a to get a nice hay stack out of it.
Another farmer who was really running low on hay for his animals decided to take some of this hay from the hay stack, rationalizing no one owned the land or the grass that grew on it.
Eventually, the farmer started feeling guilty about it and decided to go to confession. The farmer explained to the priest that he had stole some hay and what should be his penance be? The priest asked, "Well, how much hay did you steal?". The farmer replied, "Well, I stole a wagon full before Christmas and then another wagon load after Christmas and then just a few days ago I stole one more load, but heck, I guess you can say I stole the whole hay stack because I plan to get the rest tomorrow.
ha ha ha
