Thanks Dien,

I learned the hard way that you cannot Trust Farmers. Dairy farmers Especially.
I think it's the 24/7 nature of the job. Cows HAVE to be Milked every day.
And fed. You Can NEVER Take a Vacation.

IN MY EXPERIENCE -
Each ROTTEN Job they give you starts with flattery.

"You are young and full of vitamins Young Fella..."

**********
A - FARMER SAYS - "I'll drive the tractor. You Take this hay hook and pile
the hay bales on the wagon as they come off the baler.

THEN Lester would drive under a low limb
and pull the whole load of hay over onto the ground. I learned to JUMP
the other way or get buried.

B - FARMER SAYS - "I'll Stay on the ground and toss the hay bales on the hay elevator. You climb up in the hay mow and Pile the bales like stacking bricks.

THEN I'd get Stung by all the wasps building WASP nests in the top
of the barn.

C - OR MY FAVORITE. "I'll hold the burlap bag. You jump in the pigpen
where I've got the Mama Sow behind that board. Grab the piglets and stuff
them headfirst in the bag.

The Only Time I Did this - Piglet #1 Started to SCREAM his head off when I grabbed his back legs and held him up-side-down.

Mother pig - who was the size of a Volkswagen Beetle and Weighed a 1000 lbs
BROKE the board.

Ever See a 1000 pound MAMA Pig's Teeth - up close? I got a Close Look at a MOUTH full of Yellow Teeth - each bigger than my Thumb -
just before I DIVED over the 5 foot tall fence.

Lester-the-Farmer was LAUGHING. He said, "See what I mean? At my age
I couldn't have jumped over the fence that fast."

ODD sense of humor - those Dairy Farmers.
