Short, to the point and very applicable for most, if not all of us eventually (especially when one finds themselves in an argument with their better half).

Never heard that one till today but it is too Funny!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone !!

The skid-steer loader crop was ruined by an early frost. This is the only one that survived in this field.

Glad it's a rental - I'll just call Bob up, and he'll have me back in business in no time.

And don't forget to bring along the hip waders, and the pressure washer.

"CATAPILLER TRACK THIEVES STRIKE AGAIN"

The thief who steals only the lower half of tracked vehicles struck again in mid morning today. The driver Tom Dimwit (46) commented, "I went into the trees for a call of nature. I was only away for two minutes" The police are digging further into the case.

The Wife's last words before he hurried out the door to try out their new tractor were, "Honey, I know you're excited but don't you r-e-a-l-l-y think you should wait a few days for the fields to dry out a bit more?"

Earlier that morning....

Mrs. Tcmtech: I had a vision last night that you got your tractor stuck in deep mud.

Tcmtech: Dang it honey! I love you to death, but I've told you a million times that there's no such thing as visions.

Jim is such a screw up,

  • First he was the captain of the Exxon Valdez
  • He bounced around then he became airline pilot which he botched
  • Bounced around at different jobs and now this
  • But now he realizes the he has enough qualifications and skills-set to replace this guy ……..

Figures he can't do any worse than this

The foreman told the new guy, that he has to start at the bottom and work his way up.............. the new guy took him the wrong way, when his first assignment was to dig a hole.
