The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
This reminds me of the lady who moved to a nearby rural town, right next to the family-owned dairy farm, and reamed the farmer out for milking his cows.

After all we are blaming "climate change" on everything including Adult Sudden Death Syndrome (aka the not a vaxx got ya).

ReplyDeletePersonally, I like the person defending him who writes that he didn't mean all farming, just agricultural farming.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, not all farming is bad, only the farming where they actually, you know, farm. Not the best job of squaring a circle that I've seen.
What do you mean? I buy my food from the grocery store not the farm duh.
ReplyDelete(just in case anybody's sarcasm detector is broken: yes this is satire).

ReplyDeleteIf common sense was lard, some folks couldn't grease a small skillet...
