How about when the farmer would have his wife call in to order a part.....no number ......no description. When I start asking her questions like ...."what tractor does this go on" etc, she would yell in the background to her husband, and you could always hear him yelling back.

And generally all three parties would get growly over the whole deal.

I NEVER understood that. Why in the devil doesn't the dude just pick up the phone and remove the middle man (woman) and save us all some time and stress?!?

Happened all the time.
