"Helping Your Father" joke

A clergyman walking down a country lane and sees a young farmer struggling to load hay back onto a cart after it had fallen off.
“You look hot, my son, ” said the cleric. “why don’t you rest a moment, and I’ll give you a hand. ”
“No thanks, ” said the young man.
“My father wouldn’t like it. ”
“Don’t be silly, ” the minister said.
“Everyone is entitled to a break. Come and have a drink of water. ”
Again the young man protested that his father would be upset. Losing his patience, the clergyman said, “Your father must be a real slave driver. Tell me where I can find him and I’ll give him a piece of my mind! ”
“Well, ” replied the young farmer, “he’s under the load of hay. ”
