Farmers, farmers, farmers

[ninevirtues]

I am treating farmers and having fun with it:

"How'd you get hurt?"
"I got pinned by a tractor and it crushed my pelvis. Now I have back pain."
"What do you need to do that you can't do?"
"Bale hay."

"What do you do on the farm?" (asking a 50-year-old lady from a small town)
"Well, when we had livestock, I'd geld the hogs."
"Oh."
"They didn't want to sit still for that, you know."
(uh.... this I believe.)

I talked to a little old leathery man in cowboy boots, the knd of guy wth a perma-tan and bowlegs, the kind of guy who can make it clear he's enjoying looking at a pretty young woman without being offensive about it:
"How'd you get hurt?"
"Bronc rider."
