Top 10 Reasons why Farm Trucks are Never Stolen:

10. They have a range of about 20 miles before they overheat, break down, or run out of gas.

9. Only the owner knows how to operate the door to get in or out.

8. It is difficult to drive fast with all the fence tools, grease rags, ropes, chains, syringes, buckets, boots and loose papers in the cab.

7. It takes too long to start, and the smoke coming up through the rusted-out floorboard clouds your vision.

6. The Border Collie on the toolbox looks mean.

5. They’re too easy to spot. The description might go something like this: The driver’s side door is green, the right front fender is yellow, etc.

4. The large round bale in the back makes it hard to see if you’re being chased. You could the mirrors if they weren’t cracked and covered with duct tape.

3. Top speed is only about 45 mph.

2. Who wants a truck that needs a year’s worth of maintenance, u-joints, $3,000 in body work, tail-lights and windshield.

  1. 1. It is hard to commit a crime with everyone waving out you.

I tried the Japanese method of decluttering where you hold every object that you own, and if it does not bring you joy, you throw it out. So far I have thrown out all of the vegetables, the electric bill, the scale, a mirror, and my treadmill.

My wife’s birthday is in two days and she told me that she would be happy as long as I got her something with lots of diamonds in it. She’s gonna love this pack of playing cards

How to install a southern home security system:

  1. 1. Go to Goodwill and buy a pair of size 14-16 men’s work boots.
  2. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Gun & Ammo
  3. 3. Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.
  4. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads:

Bubba,

Me and Marcel, Donnie Ray and Jimmy Earl went for more ammo and beer. Be back in an hour. Don’t mess with the pitbulls. They got the mailman this morning and messed him up pretty bad.

I don’t think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of ‘em in the house. Better wait outside. Be right back…
