Perhaps these should be printed out and posted in the bunkhouse ;-)
I am mostly enlightened, partially reaffirmed, and completely delighted. Thanks!
Give a man a gun, and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank, and he can rob everybody.
Never wrestle with a pig - you just get all dirty, and besides the pig loves it.....
*ouch*
Well said!
This should be the reply to all of Antifa, BLM and the enthusiastic young LEFT;
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Not sure if they can think critically enough to understand the content. They have to be in a group to think, or something like that.
Never threaten anyone. It ruins the surprise.
It’s a poor frog who cain’t praise his own pond (courtesy my late grandmother).
Another one:
“In life there’s fly shit and elephant shit.
Learn the difference.
Forget the fly shit”
Good one.
I saved this, good stuff !

Plowing is easier when you dig a few holes around the stump, drop in some corn and then let your pigs loose in the field.
Dig a hole under the stump, as much as is practical. Fill 3/4 full of manure, add gasoline and mix with pitchfork. Leave a long trail of fuel back to the pit (have a truck for shelter). Light the fuel/fuse line and duck, stump will vacate its location.
Regards
Wisconsin farm kid.
PS: Locate yourself up from the end of the pit.
Bump, for forwarding to the old man...
