"Norman came in from the field" joke

Norman came in from the field one day and found his mother carefully spreading handful after handful of manure over the watermelon patch.
"Maw," he said, "there's an easier way of doin' that."
So saying, he took a stick of dynamite and, lighting it, tossed it under the outhouse. However, Norman didn't know his great-grandmother was using the facility just then, and when the TNT ignited, it vaporized the outhouse and blew the woman nearly a mile into the air. She landed, with a considerable thud, in the midst of the watermelons.
"Good Lawd," Norman yelled, "are y'all right, great grannie?"
The feisty old woman rose unsteadily. "I reckon I am," she replied. "All I kin say is I'm glad I didn't let that one go in the house!"
