    From NOT ALWAYS RIGHT Farming Is No Joke:

    (I work in my college’s admissions department as a caller. We occasionally get parent’s phone numbers instead of the students when trying to contact the latter, but it’s an easy work around that doesn’t cause too much trouble. This week we are tasked with calling prospective students to inform them that their applications need to be submitted/completed, and my first call of the day goes out to Texas.)

    Man: “Hello?”

    Me: “Hello, is [Student] available?”

    Man: “Who is this?”

    Me: “My name is [My Name] and I am calling [Student] in regards to his application to [College]—”

    Man: “College? [Student] is going to college?”

    Me: “Well, in our records he’s listed as having an application—”

    Man: “I didn’t know he was going to college. I thought he was going to stay and work on the farm; what else would I adopt him for?”

    Me: “Uh…” they hung up soon after. I honestly hope this was a joke

    Oh Broomie- just leave it to the pigeons from “Birdbrains”… They will take care of leavings.

    Rounded end shovels are more for digging. For that job you want a square headed shovel… Don’t ask me how I know.

    Wrong shovel, that is a digging shovel, what Broomie will need is a barn shovel with a scooped wide blade.

    Over the years, I thought having plants around the house like some people would help brighten it up. At least it’s, as it turned out, much easier to dispose of the deceased. Sigh.

    I raised chickens. Put in 1 pound of feed, get three pounds of poo.

    Broomie’s “Great Ideas” come and go. They go as soon as reality (here, courtesy of Gaylord) sets in….
