Farmers' lore jokes (German: Bauernregeln Witze, lustige Bauernregeln) is a category of German humour. They are a parody of the weather lore, or farmers' lore and are told it its traditional rhymed style. There are two variants: one is really about weather, but the rule is absurd or tautologous; the other can be about any other topic, makes some sense, often has sexual connotations, and may feature word play or some real, hidden or twisted wisdom.
