You never wait for a table at the small cafe when it is busy, because you know almost everyone in there, and they ask you to join them. That is small town living, when you have lived there for over 40 years. You know almost everyone, or their parents.
I've lived in some VERY small farming towns and villages, never saw a farmer (or anyone else for that matter) that dumb.
There's a BBC Scotland TV show "Hamish MacBeth" starring Robert Carlyle (Hamish) as the village police constable. In one episode he is working a big case with city detectives coming in to help. His friend and assistant, TV John, is telling the locals in the only pub that Hamish wants them to layoff pretending to be thick/hick with the city folk. So there's some bean spilling that it's country folk sport to tell whoppers to city folk. Also fool them into eating whacky stuff like bull nuts, gizzards and chicken butts. The show ran 3 seasons and ended in 1997. It is out on DVD and could be available from your library.
The excellent movie "Local Hero" is also set in a small Scottish seaside village.

Wacky stuff like bull nuts, gizzards and chicken butts?
Without joking at all seriousness, the local bar always has a jar of pickled chicken gizzards on the counter, and bull nuts are in season, they are available as a menu choice.
And I know somebody's going to ask me when bull nut season is. Always at branding time.

<ppsst> Buddy, good work furthering the conspiracy to get city folk to choke down that stuff <wink>
My mom and older brother always argued over who got the gizzard when Mom fixed chicken (or duck,or goose, or turkey).
