Stupid human tricks April edition

[Jag]

Bird, me know, me know.... Just giving Harv a hard time when I can... as for money for the tractor... Once long ago when my uncle was wolfing down his 6th of my mom's big buttered biscuits after the cost of butter had just double in a few weeks, she asked "Dan, do you know what butter cost now"? Reply "Worth every penny, worth every penny."

Harv, please forgive me, I was only poking a little dry humor back. I know that it can be hard to tell with out hearing the inflection. It is just that you are always so out going and upbeat. And I do hope no one would get too far out in left field and in a blue funk when the topic of dicussion is "Stupid human tricks" and happening around April 1st... Never any apology required from you.....

No problemo, Jag. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I know many of us occasionally wonder if our comments are being received in the spirit they are intended. The emoticons help, but there's still room for interpretation. Add to that my sometimes questionable sense of humor and I really do have to watch myself. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

There's also that familiarity thing -- once I'm comfortable with a group I tend to take liberties that I otherwise wouldn't. This particular group is several thousand strong, so as we've seen, it's not always possible to not offend someone once in a while. Glad you weren't one of them. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Well, now at least I feel a little better.

Two weeks ago my wife bought me a real nice pair of work gloves..........the ones I'd looked at lots of times when she "dragged" me to the hardware store. You know, the really nice leather ones that are real soft and fit real well and cost probably too much. I was out back the next day bush hogging away on a field I'd cut late last summer and wanted to get a jump on this year so I could keep the russian olives and other scrubs under control. My new gloves were tucked firmly in my jacket pocket 'cause I just had to try them out when hooking up the bush hog.................................... until they fell out and went "thump, whump, thump, whump, thump, whump" and the pieces blew out the back of the bush hog.

That afternoon I made a solo emergency run to the hardware to get another pair. I hope nobody here tells her what happened.

Once while running the brush hog, a limb knocked my cap off my head and it went under the cutter, came out back minus the bill. I wore the cap home for lunch, minus the bill. Marge says what happened to your cap? "Got hogged mama"!!

I've gotten a good laugh out of all this. I've never lost my wallet but I have probably destroyed $200 worth of dog toys hidden in the grass. Another good reason to keep everybody away while you cut. A hard rubber "Kong" flying out of the deck at a gajillion mph for 100 hundred feet is nothing to play with. Fetch Fido Fetch!!

Zombie thread...
It's been 23 years so you probably are right.
