	That's a parade float honoring the long forgotten John Deere sponsored AA/FA driven by Wild Willy Farmer, back in the 60's when they were still a legal race car.

	Unfortunately for the great, great, great, great, great grandson, Hu Frung Du, of the founder of the Hong Kong International Conglomerate, Weecan Fake-An Neeting, Ltd., was a major disappointment to the Company Board of Director's when he proudly rolled out his prototype knock-off of a John Deere tractor, after promising to deliver a can't-miss imitation that would smash U.S. competition in the Farm Equipment production categories... Reportedly, the Board directed that multiple DNA tests be performed in order to (in-?) validate Frung's actual ancestry ... __________________ ''illigitimi non carborundum...''(i.e.: don't let the fatherless (self-deluding,sabotaging, long-term-memory-impaired, knee-jerking, cheap-shotting, mono-syllabic, self-annointed, shadow-lurking, back-biting, off-topic-inquisitors) grind you down...)
