A businessman was driving through the countryside one night, having inadvertently taken a wrong turn and ended up getting lost, when he suddenly started to feel rather tired.  He tried to focus on keeping his attention on driving his car, but at one point he momentarily nodded off and came round to see that his car was headed for a ditch.  He wrenched the wheel back towards the road just in time and managed to avoid crashing his car into the ditch.  "Bloody hell" he thinks.  "That was close.  I'd better see if I can pull over somewhere and get a bit of rest."  So he continues driving for another few miles until he sees an old farmhouse in the distance with a sign outside advertising vacancies.  The businessman pulls up in the car park, goes inside and asks the old guy who owns the place for a room.

"I'm sorry" replies the farmer.  "We've don't have any vacant rooms left."

"But the sign outside says you have vacancies" protested the businessman.

Sensing that he was wasting his time the businessman walked back towards the front door, but just as he went to step outside into the car park the old guy called him back again.  "We don't have any vacant rooms left" he said "but I could let you share a room with my daughter - if you promise not to bother her."

The businessman agreed, and the old guy showed the businessman up to his room.  The businessman slipped inside the room, undressed quietly in the dark and got into bed, where he felt the farmer's daughter at his side.

The following morning the businessman got out of bed, got dressed and went downstairs to pay the old guy for the room.

"It's usually £50.00 a room" the old guy told the businessman "but I'll let you have it for £25.00 seeing as you had to share the room with my daughter."

"Your daughter was very cold last night" said the businessman as he handed over the money.

"Yes, I know" replied the old guy.  "We're going to bury her today."
