Subject: RE: Farm humor and pranks


Kingston,Mi
Dad worked off the farm as a machinist in an auto supplier about 40 miles away. In the fall he discovered that his navy beans in the garden were discolored. He came to the conclusion that cowpeas he had planted had crossed with the navies. Dad shelled out a couple of pods and put a couple of unopened pods in his shirt pocket next to his Bull Durham pouch. Dad and my Uncle Dale picked up a couple of riders along the way to work. Just as they turned to the parking lot, Dad reached for the Bull Durham and found his discolored navies. Dad passed them over to his rider, Red Gay, and ask what he thought about the beans. Red ask a few questions which Dad speculated that the beans were effected by the above ground nuclear testing going on at the time. Red was worried sick as he had 40 acres or so of navies just ready to pull. Dad dropped Red off at his car, Red roared home, jumped out of the car with out turning out the lights, grabbed his Coleman Lantern and a pail and took off to the bean field to pull samples. Didn't find any discolored beans. He confessed to Dad how worried he was and what he had found or not found. Dad explained what he thought was the reason, Red ask Dad to bring in a couple hands full of "navies" as he figured he could get a couple of neighbors riled up. Dad brought Red the requested bean pods, and Red redeemed his honor by messing with the neighbors.
